U.S. Congress Releases 116-Page Continuing Resolution, Down from 1,547 Pages, Thanks to Trump's Influence
Dec 19, 2024, 09:23 PM
The U.S. Congress has released a new continuing resolution (CR) that significantly reduces its length from the previous version, now totaling only 116 pages compared to 1,547 pages earlier in the week. This shorter bill, negotiated by Republicans, aims to keep the government open by providing a clean slate for funding. The reduction in pages is attributed to the removal of numerous provisions that were unlikely to pass independently, often referred to as 'pork'. President Trump's influence is credited for the elimination of these additional pages.
