Trump moved fast to cut a funding deal. It’s a striking change from the last shutdown fight

AI Summary

long article 7 min

In January 2026, President Donald Trump quickly reached a funding deal with Democrats to avert a partial government shutdown. The agreement, made as the deadline approached, allowed most of the government to be funded through the end of September. A key aspect of the deal involved carving out Homeland Security funding for separate debate and consideration of new restrictions on federal immigration raids. This swift action marks a contrast to previous shutdown fights, as evidenced by the Senate's vote to approve the funding. The negotiations took place in Washington D.C., involving key figures like Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
