The District of Columbia IS a Democratic place….
Sooooo?
RightWingNut’s thought they’d screw the palce by cutting A BILLION DOLLARS oiut of budget….
Even ole Donald KNOWS THAT wasn’t Right…
So now he’s pushing a effortr for a quick bill to restore the money…..
President Donald Trump is ready to press House Republicans to vote for fixing the District of Columbia’s budget, after GOP leaders unexpectedly slashed the capital city’s spending powers.
If needed, he’s prepared to work the phones — or fire off a social media post — to get Speaker Mike Johnson to put the bill on the floor, according to two White House officials.
It comes after the Senate last Friday passed a Trump-endorsed bill that would restore as much as $1.1 billion in local funding, according to District officials. The language had — inadvertently, by some accounts — been omitted in the government spending measure signed into law the next day.
The president has confidence the speaker will bring the bipartisan measure up for a vote, said a White House official granted anonymity to discuss Trump’s thinking.
How the bill gets through the House, however, is “sausage-making in the background,” said the official. “I don’t think he’ll publicly call for Johnson to bring [the fix] to the floor — that’s going to be a behind-the-scenes thing. If [Trump] must, though, a pressure campaign from Truth Social is always a possibility.”
If need be, Trump also is open to making calls to individual House members to ensure their support for the budget fix: “The president has no problem using his phone to make sure members get on board with what he’s trying to do.”….
Conservative “ values” in action!
