President-elect Donald Trump rejected a bipartisan congressional budget deal, calling it full of giveaways to Democrats. This decision came after billionaire Elon Musk, a major Trump ally, criticized the bill on social media and urged Republicans to oppose it. The joint statement by Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance halted the budget negotiations, highlighting Musk's growing political influence.
President-elect Donald Trump delivered a likely death blow to bipartisan congressional budget negotiations , rejecting the measure as full of giveaways to Democrats after billionaire ally Elon Musk whipped up outrage toward the bill and cheered on Republican lawmakers who announced their opposition.
It was a dramatic turn of events for House Speaker Mike Johnson, who negotiated the bill and has been undermined by Trump as he faces reelection for his post in just a couple of weeks. Republicans have a slim majority, raising the possibility of a replay of leadership disputes that paralyzed the House a year ago. Many lawmakers were in the middle of holiday and year-end celebrations with staff when Trump came out against the legislation.
