Trump claims the chance of ending of the government shutdown "big victory"

ree

President Trump is reportedly ecstatic about the eight Democratic senators voting in favor of ending the shutdown. For context, on Monday, the eight Democrats mentioned broke off from the rest of their party mates, voting with Republicans to end the government shutdown. The government shutdown began as Democrats and Republicans clashed over healthcare subsidies, with Republicans advocating for a reduction and Democrats shutting down the government to prevent it. Trump was seen praising House Speaker Mike Johnson on the "big victory."


Now you may be wondering, what was the deal the Democrats agreed to? The compromise that Senate Republicans agreed to reinstated most federal workers fired during the shutdown and would have restored government funding, at least until January. One thing that is noticeably missing, however, is protection for the healthcare subsidies.


Many Democrats are upset at those eight senators, for example, California Governor Gavin Newsom, calling it "Pathetic." They are mostly upset that the deal the senators signed did little to solve the healthcare problem, which is what started the shutdown in the first place. What has to happen next is a vote through the House, which will likely begin tomorrow.
