Democrats saw a "colossal failure" in the recently signed spending bill, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said Sunday. He said the bill successfully pushed President Trump's agenda.

“I mean, they lost," he told host Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."

Priebus specifically said Democrats failed to defend the Obama-era parity rule that required defense spending to match spending on nondefense programs.

"That’s one of the biggest colossal failures of the Democratic party that no one is talking about," he said.

“I don’t think the Democrats got almost — got anything out of this thing,” Priebus continued.

“President Trump’s agenda moved forward in this budget. He moved forward in this budget 'big league' as he would say,” he said, referring to a phrase commonly used by the president.

Priebus added that Republicans received a lot of funding for military spending and to buy the land needed to build a border wall where fencing currently exists.

“Number one, they lost on military spending. We got one of the biggest increases in military spending in the history of these increases,” he said. “Number two, for the first time in six years our military is going to get a raise. We got a billion and a half dollars — we can do work on on the border, including 20 foot border walls that are going to up where fencing existing today. We are going to be able to buy the property we need to continue the wall moving forward”

In contrast, some Democrats simultaneously declared victory in the budget negotiations, saying they got border wall spending off the table and received funding for Planned Parenthood and sanctuary cities, which Republicans vowed to cut.

Priebus said they will be “ready” for the next budget fight in September, adding “we are going to make sure President Trump’s priorities continue.”
