“For the first time since January 2018, House Republicans on Tuesday passed a government-wide funding bill without needing help from Democrats. And a day after the vote, members are suggesting there’s one man to thank: President Donald Trump,” NOTUS reports.
“While Speaker Mike Johnson and his leadership team came up with much of the partisan funding plan and held the conference in line, GOP leaders heavily relied on Trump to get Republicans in line.
The president made phone calls, dispatched his staff, twisted arms and even played a previously unknown role in drafting the legislation.”
