The president-elect and his allies have come out against the newly proposed government funding bill just days before a serious shutdown could begin.

Summary

Donald Trump has rejected a bipartisan stopgap funding plan to prevent a government shutdown, calling for a slimmer bill and immediate action on raising the debt ceiling.

With funding set to expire in two days, Trump and JD Vance urged Republicans to “call Democrats’ bluff” on shutdown threats, warning GOP lawmakers of political consequences if they don’t align.

The bill, criticized for its add-ons, faces pushback from conservatives and some Democrats, while others warn that excluding disaster relief and other provisions could worsen the crisis.
