President Biden on Friday hailed the passage of the $1.7 trillion government spending bill, calling it proof that Republicans and Democrats can come together.
“This bill is further proof that Republicans and Democrats can come together to deliver for the American people, and I’m looking forward to continued bipartisan progress in the year ahead,” he said in a statement.
The House passed the Senate-passed package on Friday largely along party lines, in a 225-201-1 vote.
He called out certain provisions of the legislation, including funding for research on cancer, funding to put more cops on the beat and the highest funding level for the Violence Against Women Act in history.
