President-elect Donald Trump has endorsed a condensed government funding bill aimed at preventing a shutdown. The House Republicans' 116-page proposal includes disaster relief funding and a debt limit extension until January 2027, but excludes provisions like congressional pay raises or stadium funding for the Washington Commanders. While Trump urged bipartisan support, Democrats have expressed opposition, calling the bill 'not serious' and 'laughable'. The bill requires near-unanimous GOP support or Democratic backing to pass the House and Senate before Saturday's deadline.
President-elect Donald Trump has come out in support of a new short-term government funding bill . House Republicans unveiled the 116-page bill, down from over 1,500 pages, on Thursday afternoon. It includes millions for disaster relief to help communities impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton as well as money for farmers who have been impacted by droughts, wildfires and floods. The continuing resolution also added a debt limit extension until January 30, 2027.
'Now we can Make America Great Again, very quickly, which is what the People gave us a mandate to accomplish,' Trump said on Truth Social while encouraging 'All Republicans' and Democrats to vote yes on the bill. However, it does not appear Democrats are on board with the new bill. 'The Musk, Johnson proposal is not serious,' said Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. 'It's laughable. Extreme MAGA Republicans are driving us to a government shutdown.
