With a shutdown looming by the end of the week, Republicans face pressure from Trump and his ally Elon Musk to drop the funding bill they negotiated with Democrats.

The government funding plan in the U.S. Congress collapsed after former President Donald Trump issued demands for changes to border security policies. Trump, who has significant influence over the Republican Party, insisted on stricter immigration controls, including a comprehensive border security package. This led House Speaker Mike Johnson to backtrack on a previously agreed-upon bipartisan deal, causing turmoil in negotiations. The demands included policies like nationwide deportation efforts and altering asylum laws, which were seen as non-starters by Democrats. As a result, the Senate's bipartisan effort to pass a temporary funding measure to avoid a government shutdown was jeopardized, with the deadline for funding fast approaching, highlighting the deep partisan divide and the ongoing influence of Trump in GOP politics.
