Republicans have proposed a seven-week stopgap funding bill with no new programs, while Democrats offered a shorter extension filled with their priority items. Trump criticized Democrats for pushing spending on issues like healthcare for undocumented immigrants, transgender surgeries for minors, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-joe-bidens-foreign-policy-reset-will-be-a-disaster\/\" title=\"Why Joe Biden\u2019s Foreign Policy \u2018Reset\u2019 Will Be A Disaster\">open border policies<\/a>.
