President Donald Trump signed a bill into legislation that will fund the government for six months through the end of September, avoiding a potential partial government shutdown. The bill maintains government funding similar to when Joe Biden was in office, with some minor adjustments to non-defense and defense spending. The Senate, led by Republicans, passed the bill with a vote of 54-46, with some Democrats criticizing the lack of oversight on Trump and Elon Musk’s efforts to cut federal operations. The bill required a 60-vote threshold to advance, with 10 Democrats ultimately crossing the aisle to support it. The bill eventually passed with a simple majority and will now be sent to the president’s desk for his signature. President Trump expressed his appreciation for Senator Schumer’s support during an interview, noting that he believes Schumer did the right thing. The news was shared by White House principal deputy press secretary Harrison Fields. The bill provides funding of nearly $1.7 trillion and will keep the government operating until the end of the fiscal year. The bill’s passage marks a bipartisan effort to ensure continuity of government services and avoid any disruptions in services.
