“Big WIN for Republicans, and America, tonight. Congratulations to ALL!!!” Trump posted on his social media platform.
The Republican-controlled House voted 217-213 to pass the bill to fund federal agencies through the end of the budget year in September. It now goes to the Senate, where bipartisan support will be needed to send it to Trump’s desk for his signature by late Friday.
In the Senate, the bill will need support from at least eight Democrats to get it to President Trump's desk. It’s one of the biggest legislative tests so far of the Republican president’s second term.
