The Trump administration and congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle struck a budget deal Monday, and House
Democrats may not react well to some of its details.House Democrats will find it hard to negotiate for policy changes using the deal, like pushing for federal funding of
abortion as prohibited by the Hyde Amendment or clamping down on President
Donald Trump using
Pentagon funding for building a U.S.-Mexico border wall.Congressional leaders agreed to prevent such measures, known as “riders” or “poison pills,” as part of Monday’s deal. House Democrats may make things tough and argue that certain policy pushes are not poison pills, however, reported The
Washington Post. They already passed abortion and wall funding provisions in this year’s party-line spending bills, reported Politico.Trump emphasized the poison pills ban in his
Twitter announcement of the deal Monday evening.
