The House narrowly passed Trump’s domestic policy bill Thursday following a dramatic all-night session and days of negotiations.
In a 215 to 214 vote, all but two House Republicans supported the massive budget package — the centerpiece legislation of Mr. Trump’s second-term agenda — in a vote that came hours after unveiling an updated version of the legislation that GOP leaders hoped would satisfy enough holdouts.
The measure cleared a critical procedural hurdle in the wee hours of the morning, teeing up the vote on final passage after days of consternation among the House Republican conference.
The bill will now go to the Senate, where some Republicans have already voiced some opposition. Congressional leaders have said they want to get it to Mr. Trump’s desk by July 4.
I never made the claim that I couldn’t have missed it, which is why I asked for the source. But I stand corrected on the Russian issue, I was not aware of this. That being said, I still cannot fundamentally agree that we’ve lost 100 years of progress because that is just not true. I’m way more worried about the precedents that are being set and how they will end up abused by future presidents of both parties.
