Despite Trump’s veto, the Senate will vote Friday on the military budget — a final setback that illustrates the gap between the White House’s tenant and the Republican representatives.
The end of Donald Trump’s term resembles a lengthy Calvary more and more each day. Mocked for his vain attempt to protests Joe Biden’s victory, isolated, passing more time on the golf course than at the White House, he could suffer a final setback Friday in the Senate. The military budget could be approved, even though the 45th president of the United States gave it his veto. On Monday, the House of Representatives passed it — 109 Republican officials joined 212 Democrats in approving the text, despite the president’s objections.
Everything seems to indicate that a large majority of Republican senators will follow suit on Jan. 1. In order to override Trump’s veto, a bipartisan majority is required.
The Divide Deepens between Trump and the Higher-Ups of the Republican Party
Trump opposes this $750 billion plan, which proposes a reevaluation of military personnel salaries, because it would be too favorable toward China. He also accuses it of not abolishing a law that protects the legal status of social media, which he claims are hostile toward him. Finally, the text opens up the possibility of renaming military bases that currently honor segregationist generals, of which the former multimillionaire disapproves.
In his four-year term, Trump has placed his veto on a law nine times. But this is the first time that it may be ignored. This possible snub shows the increasing division that separates the White House’s tenant and the Republican Party’s higher-ups, including Mitch McConnell, the head of the GOP in the Senate. In a tweet Tuesday in which he has the secret, Trump called them “pathetic.”*
