Trump praises House spending bill, urges GOP unity
President Donald Trump endorsed a new House spending bill, calling it a "very good" measure that will fund the government until late September 2025. He urged House Republicans to vote in favor, emphasizing the need for unity. The 99-page bill includes increased defense spending of $892.5 billion and a $13 billion cut to nondefense spending, totaling $708 billion. It also allocates $9.9 billion for immigration enforcement and $6 billion for veterans' healthcare. Trump collaborated with House leaders to gain support from hard-line Republicans. The bill will go to the Rules Committee on Monday, with a final vote scheduled for Tuesday.
