Government Shutdown Looms After Funding Bill Rejected
House Republicans, influenced by Trump and Musk, derail bipartisan deal, leaving no clear path to avoid shutdown before Friday's deadline.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson's proposed funding bill, which included disaster relief and farm aid, was rejected by House Republicans following opposition from President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
- Trump and Musk criticized the bill for alleged excessive spending and demanded the inclusion of debt ceiling provisions, complicating efforts to pass a new resolution before the shutdown deadline.
- Elon Musk's extensive social media campaign against the bill played a significant role in rallying conservative opposition, showcasing his growing influence in Washington politics.
- A government shutdown could lead to furloughs for federal workers, delayed paychecks for essential personnel, and disruptions to national parks and other services during the holiday season.
- Democrats have expressed frustration over the collapse of the bipartisan deal, with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries emphasizing that Republicans will bear responsibility for any shutdown consequences.
