Trump-Endorsed Plan To Avert Government Shutdown Fails In House Vote
Dailycaller - Dec 19th, 2024
House lawmakers rejected Speaker Mike Johnson's stopgap funding bill, which was opposed by 38 Republicans, including Rep. Chip Roy, who criticized the $5 trillion debt increase and $110 billion in unfunded disaster aid. The bill, supported by President-elect Donald Trump, aimed to fund the government through March 2025 and raise the debt ceiling until 2027, but it failed to get the required votes. The new CR was a simplified version of the previous 1,500-page package, excluding provisions on pay raises, China investment restrictions, and E15 gasoline sales, and removing the Global Engagement Center's authorization.
