The recent budget deal between Congress and President Trump has been largely seen as a win for Republican moderates, who feared that a government shutdown would have caused more political pain and alienated much of their electorate. By working together to reach a compromise, both sides were able to avoid a politically embarrassing and potentially damaging government shutdown. GOP moderates were able to argue that they made the best of a difficult situation, while still retaining a strong degree of fiscal restraint in terms of spending. Additionally, the deal helps to temporarily assuage some fears among Republicans about the president’s penchant for brashness and possible recklessness. All in all, the deal was an important victory for moderates in the GOP and aided the party in avoiding a significant political blow.
