The House of Representatives has passed a stopgap spending bill to avert a government shutdown.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democrats raised the same objections as they did to yesterday\u2019s government funding bill. Purple-haired Democrat Rep. Rosa L. DeLauro gave almost the exact same speech tonight in opposition as last night, claiming that Republicans were trying to shut the government down at the behest of \u201cPresident Musk.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Democrats overwhelmingly voted in favor of the bill after Republicans noted that any vote in opposition to the bill was a vote to shut the government down. Not a single Democrat voted against the bill.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The final vote was 366-34 in favor of the bill, with 196 Democrats voting yes and 34 Republicans voting no. The bill will now head to the Senate for passage before the government shutdown deadline.<\/p>\n

Trump has called on Congress to \u201cget rid of, or extend out to, perhaps, 2029\u201d the debt ceiling as a negotiating tactic when he takes office on January 20.<\/p>\n

This morning, Trump called on<\/a> Republicans to ensure that the government does not shut down after his January 20 inauguration. \u201cIf there is going to be a shutdown of government, let it begin now, under the Biden Administration, not after January 20th, under \u2018TRUMP,\u2019\u201d Trump said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last night, the House voted against<\/a> a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government funded, with 38 Republicans in opposition, citing spending levels and Trump\u2019s requested increased debt limit.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of today, we\u2019re spending a $2.23 trillion rate. That is not sustainable, and we will end up collapsing the entire country as a result of this spending,\u201d Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) told The Gateway Pundit in an exclusive interview<\/a> after he voted no on the CR. \u201cWe need to get President Trump\u2019s agenda to succeed, and we need to do that responsibly.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Trump, however, sought to rally Republican lawmakers, emphasizing the long-term benefits of the plan.\u00a0In a Truth Social post Thursday evening, he promised significant spending cuts through reconciliation next year, stating, \u201cThe United States will cut Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in spending next year through Reconciliation!\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, all but two Democrats voted against the bill, claiming<\/a> that \u201cPresident Musk\u201d forced them to scrap the old CR and arguing<\/a> that \u201cThe bill that is before us today is just part of an effort to shut down the government.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bill would have continued funding the government as well as disaster relief, the military, and farmers. Unlike Republicans, the Democrats didn\u2019t have any concerns about government spending and instead just pushed bogus excuses to justify their partisan opposition to Trump-backed CR.<\/p>\n

The bill came to the floor after a disastrous 1,547-page continuing resolution<\/a> was rejected by the MAGA base, and House Speaker Mike Johnson was called out for negotiating an America Last funding bill. The bill passed on Friday was only 118 pages.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vice President-elect JD Vance fired back<\/a> at House Democrats last night following the failed vote, saying they \u201cwould rather shut down the government and fight for global censorship bullsh*t\u201d\u2014 a reference to the previous 1,547-page CR, which included renewal of the embattled Global Engagement Center censorship program.<\/p>\n

As The Gateway Pundit reported,\u00a0The House of Representatives planned to convene again today to vote on a new spending bill closely aligned with President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s directives.<\/p>\n

Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) emphasized that the bill incorporates only minor modifications and was crafted without any concessions to Democratic demands.<\/p>\n

Trump released a statement this morning, saying,\u00a0\u201cThis is a Biden problem to solve, but if Republicans can help solve it, they will!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

JUST IN: Trump Says \u201cIf There is Going to be a Shutdown of Government, Let it Begin Now, Under the Biden Administration\u201d \u2013 Puts Pressure on GOP to Solve Looming Shutdown<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And they did.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
President Trump’s agenda appears to be ready for the new year with this measure successfully passed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Though, some Republicans say this did not help Trump\u2019s agenda.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
