  • Donald Trump is still a month out from his inauguration but already is shaking up Washington, trashing House Speaker Mike Johnson's plan to avoid a government shutdown before the holidays and pressuring Republicans to deal with the debt ceiling before he takes office.

The article from MSN discusses the potential impact of Donald Trump and Elon Musk on the U.S. government and the Republican Party. Trump, who has been indicted on multiple charges, continues to exert significant influence over the GOP, with his legal battles and political maneuvers potentially leading to a government shutdown as he pressures House Republicans to prioritize his agenda over governance. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, through his ownership of X Corp (formerly Twitter), has been vocal about his political views, which often align with right-wing ideologies, further complicating the political landscape. Musk's influence could indirectly affect political discourse and policy, especially with his comments on free speech and his interactions with Republican figures. Together, their actions are seen as contributing to a shake-up within the Republican Party, potentially leading to internal conflicts and a broader impact on U.S. politics as the 2024 election approaches.
