House Leaders Race To Pass Funding Deal Tatis [052ixPnyiQX]

Henrietta Treyz, Co-Founder at Veda Partners, discusses the latest headlines out of DC including the partial government shutdown, turmoil in the House over ICE raids, and the runoff election in Dallas that ended in a shock win.

House leaders are scrambling to pass a bipartisan deal to end a partial governmentshutdownby funding the majority of agencies through September with the exception of the Department of Homeland Security.

The House Rules Committee willmeet at 4 p.m. todayon the latest version of the spending osasuna vs atltico madrid standings measure (H.R. 7148;BGOV Bill Analysis) blessed by President Donald Trump, but it will be a heavy lift.

The five full-year funding bills in the deal Defense, Labor-HHS-Education, Transportation-HUD, Financial Services-General Government, and National Security-State passed the House last month by a bipartisan vote of 341-88. But the circumstances are different this time around with the inclusion of the two-week DHS stopgap.

Lawmakers from both partiesare pushing back against the deal. That resistance partly underscores why GOP leaders had considered moving the bill under an expedited procedure that would have required a two-thirds majority instead of going through the Rules Committee, as conservatives have frequently threatened to sink procedural rule votes in the past.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) demanded GOP leaders attach the SAVE America Act (H.R. 22), legislation to require proof of citizenship to vote, to any funding bill .

I am a hard no and will never vote for this. I am not voting for any of these appropriations unless the SAVE Act is included, Luna said in aposton X, adding: STOP BEING WEAKLINGS!

Despite the resistance, Speaker Mike Johnson voiced confidence that Congress will agree on the funding deal.

Lets say Im confident that well do it at least by Tuesday, josh allen hailee steinfeld family Johnson (R-La.) said on NBCs Meet the Press, adding he expects to rely solely on Republican votes to pass the measure, Mara Paula Mijares Torres reports.

PresidentDonald Trumphas said the only thing he worries about is losing Republican control of Congress in the November elections. The latest campaign finance filings show hes built anunprecedented war chestto help keep that from happening.

Trumps political committees and the Republican National Committee amassed $483 million through the end of December, according todocumentsfiled with the Federal Election Commission. Thats nearly triple the $167 million collectively held by the Democratic National Committee and its Senate and House party committees and super PACs.

The haul comes from tapping Trumps wealthiest donors with events like MAGA Inc. dinners at his Florida and New Jersey resorts as well as relentless appeals via text and email to small-dollar contributors who constitute the Make America Great Again base.

Since returning to the White House, MAGA Inc. has gotten eight-figure contributions from pipeline billionaireKelcy Warrenand his companyEnergy Transfer LP; quant traderJeff Yass;OpenAIco-founderGreg Brockman; andCrypto.comexchange operator Foris DAX Inc. In total, M

Targeting the other end of the donor spectrum, Trumps Never Surrender leadership PAC recently asked potential contributors to make a small, sustaining contribution so we can complete the MAGA government debt agenda. It asked for as little as $33.

Whether all that financial armor is enough to buck history incumbent presidents almost always lose ground in midterms isnt so clear, and Trump knows it.
