Trump 2nd term live updates: Trump, Vance lobby GOP as government shutdown looms
As President Donald Trump’s second term in office draws to a close, the looming threat of a government shutdown has once again brought the issue of funding to the forefront of political discourse. With just days left before the deadline to pass a spending bill, Trump and his allies are working tirelessly to lobby GOP members of Congress in order to secure the necessary votes to keep the government running.
One of Trump’s most vocal supporters in this effort is New York gubernatorial candidate and former Manhattan prosecutor, Cyrus Vance Jr. Vance has been a staunch advocate for Trump throughout his presidency, often defending him against allegations of wrongdoing and corruption. Now, Vance is using his influence within the GOP to rally support for the president as the shutdown deadline approaches.
In a recent press conference, Vance emphasized the importance of passing a spending bill in order to avoid the detrimental effects of a government shutdown. He pointed to the potential impact on federal workers, national security, and the economy as reasons why it is crucial for Congress to come to a resolution before time runs out.
Trump himself has also been actively involved in the lobbying effort, reaching out to key members of the Republican Party in an attempt to secure their support for the spending bill. With the clock ticking down and tensions running high, Trump has been working around the clock to ensure that the government remains operational and that essential services continue to be provided to the American people.
As the deadline approaches, the fate of the government hangs in the balance. Will Trump and Vance be successful in their efforts to secure the necessary votes to pass a spending bill, or will the government be forced to shut down once again? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the stakes are high, and the outcome of this political showdown will have far-reaching implications for the country as a whole.
