The House shot down a new funding bill endorsed by President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday, marking the latest failed spending bill proposal this week as a potential government shutdown looms.
"The House voted 235-174 against the bill, with 38 Republicans crossing the aisle and voting "no" alongside Democrats.
The new measure sought to maintain government funding until March 14 and suspend the debt ceiling for two years"a measure Trump demanded to be included in the bill.
Trump, who opposed the previous funding bill disputed by Congress early this week over the lack of a debt ceiling measure, lauded the new agreement in a Truth Social post, urging Republicans and Democrats to vote for the bill."
Awww, poor Orange Lewzer!
Mikey "Baldrick" Johnson says this morning that he has a cunning new Budget Plan.
Not sure, but in may involve arresting 38 of his clowns.
"At the White House, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre lashed out at Republicans who had agreed to a bipartisan deal and then abandoned it.
"This is a mess that Speaker [Mike] Johnson created, that is his mess to fix," she told reporters at the daily briefing, adding that there was "still time" for Republicans to "do the right thing."
That's SO otherworldly.... Mikey folded to Trump's pressure to kill the bipartisan bill, then Trump's mouthpiece blames Mikey?
Oh, wait... his Base is stupid enough to believe anything he says, so.
