Trump Wins Tip Scales for GOP in Government Funding Battle
Implications of Trump’s Victory on Government Funding
Trump wins tip scales for the GOP, altering the conversations around government funding. As Congress revitalizes negotiations on federal spending, Republican leaders are gearing up to take decisive actions. The growing anticipation of a Republican trifecta in Washington empowers the GOP to dictate the future of government funding.
