The congress approves the plan to avoid the arrest of the government between the republican divisions

The United States Congress has avoided a partial arrest of the government for a certain period on Friday after weeks of partisan that clash on the limits of federal spending and on the extensions of the debt roof. The crisis came when the Republicans, who responded to the pressures of the former president Donald Trump, discussed proposals to increase the debt limit, facing wider tax concerns.

House speaker Mike JohnsonA republican, he managed to guide a plan through his room, which is strictly controlled by his party, also ensuring quite bipartisan support to transmit him to the Senate by a democratic majority. Speaking with journalists at the beginning of the day, Johnson expressed cautious optimism:

“We have a plan. We hope to vote this morning. “

The agreement, however, highlighted the deep divisions between the Republicans, in particular within the conservative wing of the party. Many hardliners in line with Trump have requested more severe measures, including a more significant reduction in federal expenditure, before accepting any increase in the debt roof.

Trump, who remained a vocal force within the Republican Party, intensified his rhetoric in the days preceding the vote. He asked for an ambitious Five -year suspension of the debt roofrejecting short -term extensions as inadequate.

“The congress must eliminate or extend the ridiculous debt roof until 2029. Without this, we should never reach an agreement,” Trump released on social media.

Despite these requests, the legislators opted for a short -term solution, arousing an arrest but leaving unresolved questions about long -term tax policy.

The final vote on the plan arrived late on Thursday evening, with a significant republican opposition. The measure passed with 174 votes in favor AND 235 againstreflecting a coalition of moderate democrats and republicans who have passed the objections from the party's far right faction.

Temporary resolution underlines the continuous challenges for the speaker Johnson while trying to navigate in a fractured Republican party and maintain government operations in the months to come.
