The House of Representatives failed to pass President-elect Trump's proposed funding plan, raising the risk of a government shutdown. The plan faced opposition from Democrats who criticized its sudden demands and rushed nature.
The House of Representatives rejected a new funding plan Thursday pushed by incoming President-elect Donald Trump to fund federal operations and suspend the debt ceiling limit. The vote came a day before the deadline to avoid a government shutdown . Democrats refused to meet his sudden demands and the rushed solution presented by the Republican leadership.
In a hasty vote, marked by frustration over a self-inflicted crisis, lawmakers failed to reach the necessary two-thirds majority for approval. House Speaker Mike Johnson, however, seemed determined to try again before the Friday midnight deadline. 'We're going to do the right thing,' Johnson said before the vote. But he didn't even secure a majority, with 174 votes in favor and 235 against. The result represents a major setback for Trump and his ally, billionaire Elon Musk, who criticized the bipartisan deal that Johnson had negotiated in recent days to avoid a government shutdown during the holiday season. The outcome offers a glimpse of the turbulence to come when Trump returns to the White House with Republicans in control of both chambers of Congress. During his first term, Trump led Republicans to the longest government shutdown in history, which occurred during the 2018 Christmas season, and disrupted the holidays in 2020 by rejecting a bipartisan bill on COVID-19 relief. Hours earlier, Trump announced 'Success in Washington!' as he presented the new package that would keep the government operating for another three months and add $100.4 billion in disaster assistance, even for states hit by hurricanes, and allow additional loans until January 30, 2027
