President Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that the end of the budget paralysis is a 'very big victory' for Republicans, in the context of rising tensions among Democrats. After 40 days of stalemate, Congress is preparing to adopt a new budget that will end the 'shutdown', with the Senate already approving a bill that extends the current budget until the end of January.
Eight Democratic senators voted in favor of the measure, which sparked harsh criticism from their colleagues, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, who denounced this decision as a 'capitulation' and a 'betrayal'. The Democratic minority leader in the House, Hakeem Jeffries, called for accountability from Republicans, emphasizing the importance of continuing subsidies for 'Obamacare'. The budget crisis has had serious consequences, affecting the salaries of public employees and causing disruptions in the payment of social benefits.
