How Trump and Elon Musk derailed bipartisan plans for a funding bill, bringing on risk of shutdown

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. a-funding-bill-bringing-on-risk-of-shutdown.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Thursday, December 19th 2024 at 14:00 GMT by CBS News}

"My phone was ringing off the hook," Republican Rep. Andy Barr said. "The people who elected us are listening to Elon Musk."

The article from CBS News discusses the potential government shutdown as the deadline for Congress to pass a funding bill approaches. Amidst this, former President Donald Trump has been actively engaging with key political figures, including Elon Musk, to influence the situation. Trump has been pushing for a hardline stance against a bipartisan funding bill, urging Republican lawmakers to hold out for more conservative demands. This comes at a time when House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is struggling to unify his party, with some Republicans advocating for drastic spending cuts and policy changes, while others, along with Democrats, are pushing for a more straightforward funding extension to avoid a shutdown. The involvement of high-profile figures like Musk, who has been seen with Trump, adds another layer of complexity to the negotiations, highlighting the intertwining of business, politics, and personal influence in Washington's decision-making process.
