By The FirstFormer President Donald Trump urged Republican lawmakers on Thursday to vote “no” on the $1.7 trillion spending bill that’s currently making its way through congress.
Watch Trump’s video below:
“Every single Republican should vote no on the ludicrous, unacceptable $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill. It’s a disaster for our country and it also happens to be a disaster for the Republican Party, because they could stop it,” Trump said in a video originally posted Truth Social. Trump added that the bill is “crammed with Left Wing disasters, Washington betrayals.”
“This bill will make the border worse, it will make crime worse, it will make the economy worse,” Trump said. “It will make inflation worse. It will make every single one of Joe Biden’s total catastrophes even more ruinous and damaging to our country. Our country is going to hell because of what they’ve done in the last two years. Passing a spending bill now, before Republicans take control of Congress on Jan. 3, would squander a best chance to hold Biden fully accountable and force him to secure the border in the new year.”
The Senate voted Thursday to pass the massive $1.7 trillion government spending bill in a vote of 68-29. The House will take up the bill on Friday.
