Government Shutdown Nears End After Democrats 'Rebel' To Strike Deal With Republicans | Decode | 4K

US President Donald Trump announced that the end of the nation’s longest government shutdown was very near. He said it amounted to a “very big victory” for Republicans. Trump quickly veered into a victory lap just a day after the Senate passed legislation to end the government shutdown. For Trump, this was welcome respite after the election drubbing that the Republicans received just last week. And Trump lost no time in making this into a victory speech, so close after a defeat. The break in the congressional deadlock came only after a critical set of eight Democrats joined with Republicans and backed a spending package. But they caved in on their primary demand: the deal omits an extension of expiring federal health care subsidies by the end of the year, also known as Obamacare. n18oc_crux | n18oc_world
