US government shutdown looms after House rejects Trump-backed spending deal
Friday, 20 December 2024 US politicians have rejected a spending bill endorsed by president-elect Donald Trump - leaving Congress with no clear plan to avert a fast-approaching government shutdown.
As a government shutdown approaches, tensions in Congress are rising, particularly among House Republicans. House Speaker Mike Johnson had to abandon a critical last-minute funding measure intended to prevent a shutdown. This decision came largely due to significant pushback from conservative members...
The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.

As the deadline to prevent a government shutdown rapidly approaches, former President Donald Trump has dismissed a bipartisan agreement between Republicans and Democrats. Trump pushed for a controversial new deal that includes a three-month government funding extension and a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling, a proposal that was swiftly rejected by the House of Representatives. With crucial public services and federal workers at risk, Congress must act fast to avoid a shutdown. Will lawmakers come together in time to avert this crisis just days before Christmas?
