While his allies and supporters railed against a $1.2 trillion spending bill that averted a government shutdown, former President Trump remained out of sight and silent on the GOP infighting.
While House and Senate conservatives railed against the $1.2 trillion federal funding bill that passed Friday, as the de facto leader of the Republican Party remained silent. Former President Donald Trump, the GOP's presumptive 2024 nominee, made no public comments, and his campaign did not respond to multiple requests for comment on the bill, which President Biden signed into law on Saturday.
Biden's fiscal year 2025 budget calls for $3.3 trillion in net deficit reduction, although the revenue that is needed to achieve that goal would mostly come from tax increases. Biden has promised not to increase taxes on those making less than $400,000, but he otherwise has called for a repeal of Trump's tax cuts and additional taxes on corporations and the wealthy.
