Government funding plan collapses after Trump issues demands

^{Published on 2024-12-19 03:40:38 - MSN}

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 a bipartisan border security deal. Trump, speaking at a rally in Las Vegas, urged Republicans to reject the deal unless it included "everything" needed to secure the border, effectively derailing negotiations. This intervention came as House Speaker Mike Johnson and other GOP leaders were already facing internal party pressure to reject the Senate's proposed deal. The breakdown in talks has heightened the risk of a government shutdown, with funding set to expire on January 19, 2024. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized Trump's influence, accusing him of prioritizing political gain over national interest. The situation has left both chambers of Congress struggling to find a path forward to avoid a shutdown, with significant implications for border security, foreign aid, and other critical government functions.
