US Govt partial shutdown imminent? President elect Donald Trump-backed spending deal fails in House

Live Mint  

US Government: A Republican spending bill backed by President-elect Donald Trump was soundly rejected in the US House of Representatives on Thursday, leaving Congress without a clear strategy to avert a looming government shutdown that threatens to disrupt Christmas travel. Donald Trump's Controversial Proposal Donald Trump's rejected spending bill aimed to extend government funding into March 2025, coinciding with Trump’s return to the White House, and included $100 billion in disaster relief while also suspending the debt ceiling. This outcome represents a considerable setback for Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who had publicly denounced Mike Johnson's bipartisan compromise aimed at preventing a US government shutdown. Democrats have condemned the GOP's retreat from their earlier agreement, with House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries labelling US-President elect Donald Trump’s new proposal “laughable.” He emphasised that Democrats would not support any plan that undermined their previous negotiations.
