Trump Secures Legislative Victory with Streamlined 120-Page Bill, Including $29B for FEMA, $20B for Farmers, and $10B Direct Aid
Dec 21, 2024, 12:07 AM
President-elect Donald Trump achieved a notable legislative victory as the House passed a streamlined government funding bill, reducing the original 1,500-page proposal to just 120 pages. This new bill, which avoids a government shutdown, includes substantial disaster relief funding: $29 billion for FEMA, $20 billion for farmers affected by hurricanes, and an additional $10 billion in direct aid. Trump's strategic maneuvering led to the removal of provisions deemed unnecessary, often referred to as 'pork,' and eliminated a proposed pay raise for members of Congress. This legislative success is being hailed by Trump supporters as a significant win ahead of his inauguration, reflecting a focused approach to governance and fiscal responsibility.
