But Johnson’s team was also looking at the passage of a “clean” continuing resolution to keep the government open until January. The failed vote Thursday night came after frenzied negotiations about how to avert a shutdown following Trump’s shooting down of the more than 1,500-page continuing resolution revealed by congressional leaders Tuesday night. “If there is going to be a shutdown of government, let it begin now, under the Biden Administration, not after January 20th, under ‘TRUMP.’ This is a Biden problem to solve, but if Republicans can help solve it, they will!” he added shortly before 8 a.m. Johnson’s replacement bill for the shot-down continuing resolution was a 116-page bill to keep the government funded until March 14 which included about $100 billion in disaster relief and $10 billion in farm aid. “I don’t know what the plan is now,” she added, noting that Trump’s call for a debt limit extension “seems to have aggravated the Democrats considerably.” “We can’t have a government shutdown, and we’re getting dangerously close to that,” she said, according to The Hill.
