Trump cheers 'success in Washington' after House reaches new spending deal

President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday celebrated the negotiation of a new spending package after Republicans torched a previous deal in the face of public outrage.

"SUCCESS in Washington!" Trump posted. "Speaker Mike Johnson and the House have come to a very good Deal for the American People. The newly agreed to American Relief Act of 2024 will keep the Government open, fund our Great Farmers and others, and provide relief for those severely impacted by the devastating hurricanes."

Trump further highlighted the inclusion of a provision pushing the debt ceiling to 2027.

Lower chamber lawmakers confirmed the agreement on Thursday afternoon, though conservative budget hawks expressed frustration that it did not rein in spending.

"More debt. More government. Increasing the Credit Card $4 trillion with ZERO spending restraint and cuts. HARD NO," Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, posted.
