Republicans largely back Trump’s attempted federal aid freeze — with some notes of caution
The elected Republicans in Washington and around the country supported the Trump administration’s attempt to freeze federal aid programs Amid chaos and confusion It was ignited by the direction of the sweeping budget office.
Throughout the Board of Directors, members of the Republican Party in Congress and rulers in general said they supported the idea of reviewing federal spending and that the matter was in line with President Donald Trump’s promises. However, a few said it was important for the White House to provide more clarity to ensure that certain services were not affected.
“This is not unusual for the administration to stop financing and take a difficult look and dismantling of how to spend these programs and how they interact with many of the executive orders signed by the president,” the majority leader of the Senate, told the correspondents when asked if the Republicans were planning To accept Trump’s move or confirm the strength of the portfolio granted to Congress.
“I think these are the main criteria that they use: Are the executive orders involved in this particular way?
With the bombing of the Democrats as an authoritarian step by Trump to block the middle -class money to help finance the tax exemptions of the wealthy, many Republicans praised the freezing – where they made notes that were a reminder that the honeymoon period in Trump continued with the members of his party.
In the annual resort of Republicans in the House of Representatives at Trump National Club, Miami Golf, Parliament Speaker Mike Johnson described, R. La. Trump’s move as a “common application of a healthy sense.”
“I completely support him,” Johnson said. “We want to make sure that the executive orders of the new president are fully compatible with these programs.”
A temporary federal judge Trump’s plan was banned To stop spending federal aid on Tuesday evening, Legal battle started This can end before the Supreme Court.
“There will always be a conflict of balance between the force that happens here, but I believe that the federal government spending is so control that we need to stop here,” said Senator Roger Marshall, R. “So I support the president.”
Senator Tommy Tobreville, in RA, said
Senator Eric Schmidt, R-MO. , “I also think that many of these grants drained the DEI, the discriminatory, discriminatory and illegal, so we will discover more.”
One of the few skepticals of Trump’s move in the party is Senator Susan Collins, R. Min, and is in one category of the only Republican Party to represent a blue state. She is also chairman of the credit committee, which oversees part of the budget subject to the annual review.
“There is certainly a justification for a closer look at some programs, but this is very comprehensive, and it will disrupt the management of many important programs and services,” Collins said in a statement, adding that she was “anxious about influence” will be.
At the home of the Republican Party in Florida, the legislator raised only one, the center deputy without Bacon, R-NB. Fears about Trump’s freezing. He said on Tuesday morning that he had received several calls from voters who are concerned that the programs at home will be boycotted.
“These things are dedicated by Congress. Pinch, who represents Kamala Harris County last year, said it was already signed on the law, so I would like to say I do not agree with it.
Hours later, Pacon said he had received a violent reaction from his Republican colleagues for his criticism of Trump.
I was asked about, “Why did you talk? “I said how we are supposed to defend if we did not know even what will happen or what it really means, and I have the ingredients. It is just part of life. There is a book call[ed] “Relationships are chaotic,” Bacon said, “This is just a chaos,” adding that he had “a little” from a violent reaction.
“I will not say from,” he added. “I had to express my point of view … … it was a surprise.”
Representative Tim Porschet, R-Tenn, a member of the new sub-committee, the supervision committee of the House of Representatives, said that the freezing of Trump sends the correct message about federal spending.
“This is the way you have to do this. You have to stop them. Then make sure there are no violations, then, if possible, return some.”
Representative Brian Babin, R-TEXAS, Chairman of the Science, Space and Technology Committee, also chanted in the first week of Trump in his post, including an attempt to freeze.
“The man returned to the office. This time, he is better than what he was the first time. He has great people who take positions in the cabinet and these dates, and he has a plan, and he moves quickly that no one can expect. He said two doors in an interview at Trump Resort in the role of : “I cannot be happier to see what is happening in this country.”
“I do not hear any concerns about what he is doing from home. All I get is just congratulations and thank me and the president for taking this country away from the direction of waking up in which we were for four years.”
Meanwhile, the rulers of Republicans all over the country were largely silent on this issue, although a pair of them presented some cautious criticism.
The governor of the state of Louisiana Jeff Landri, in a statement issued in conjunction with other Republican leaders in the legislative body, praised Trump’s move as one “We embrace everything” while urging Ubb to reach a plan to “dismantle” the ongoing chaos.
The Governor of New Hampshere Kelly Ayot said in a statement that she had supported the procedure, but warned of the disturbance of the services it might cause.
“Although I support the logical review of the federal spending to ensure that it is in the interest of taxpayers, we cannot allow the interruption of critical services for those who rely on it,” Ayot said. “My office was in contact with the White House to ensure that our citizens were not negatively affected by any unintended effects and that critical services continue without interruption.”
On the other hand, Virginia Governor Glenn Yongen defended Trump, while indicating that he had confirmed with the White House that the plan would not interrupt a number of decisive services.
“The party trick to spread the misleading information intention is a dangerous and completely wrong. Youngin said President Trump is doing what the CEO should do at the beginning of a period, which discovers the place of money and where things are going.”
A spokesman for the Texas Governor Greg Abbott also provided full support for the plan.
“This temporary suspension of financing will lead to transparency of federal spending and has long been affected,” Andrew Mahleres, a spokesman for Abbott, in a statement. “Tax dollars should be used to help taxpayers.”
