President-elect Donald Trump and entrepreneur Elon Musk are publicly opposing a government funding bill backed by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson. Their opposition, along with a growing number of Republican lawmakers, raises the possibility of a partial government shutdown after Friday night. The bill, criticized by Musk as wasteful, faces significant hurdles in the House.
President-elect Donald Trump opposes a government funding bill backed by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson.Trump is opposed to the continuing resolution put forward by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, according to a source familiar with the president-elect's thinking, who was granted anonymity to describe private conversations.
If there is no legislation passed by the House and Senate and signed by the president to fund the government after Friday night, the federal government would start enacting a partial shutdown that could include employee furloughs. Passing bills under suspension requires that the bill win support from two-thirds of the House, but bypasses other procedural steps.
