He dropped Trump’s demands…the US Representatives approved the government financing project

Hours before the government shutdown at midnight Friday, the US House of Representatives approved a new plan from Speaker Mike Johnson late Friday evening to provide temporary funding for federal operations and disaster aid, but dropped President-elect Donald Trump’s demands to increase the debt limit in… New year.
Johnson stressed that Congress “will fulfill our obligations” and will not allow the closure of federal operations before the Christmas holiday season.

Government shutdown

But today’s outcome was uncertain after Trump reiterated his insistence on including a debt ceiling increase in any deal – and if that doesn’t happen, he said in a post this morning, let the government shutdown begin “now.”

The bill was approved by a vote of 366 to 34, and was referred to the Senate, in order to pass it quickly, which is expected. “We will not have a government shutdown,” Johnson said before the vote.
