Report shows Musk and Trump pushed GOP to kill the bill to keep government open


//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. op-to-kill-the-bill-to-keep-government-open.html
Published in Politics and Government on Wednesday, December 18th 2024 at 20:40 GMT by MSN   Print publication without navigation

  • President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk have succeeded in getting House Republicans to kill what was expected to be an easily-passed continuing resolution that would keep the federal government open and avert a costly and confusing shutdown just days before Christmas.

The article from MSN discusses a report by The Washington Post detailing how Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump influenced Republican senators to oppose a bipartisan bill intended to keep the U.S. government open. The report highlights that Musk, through his social media platform X (formerly Twitter), and Trump, via his Truth Social posts, criticized the bill, urging GOP members to reject it. Their opposition was based on the argument that the bill did not address border security adequately, a key issue for many Republicans. This pressure reportedly contributed to the failure of the bill, leading to a government shutdown. The article also notes the broader implications of such interventions by influential figures in politics, suggesting a shift in how policy decisions are influenced in the digital age.
