House Republican leaders have pulled a three-month government funding package from consideration amid mounting opposition from President-elect Donald Trump and members of the GOP conference.

House Republican leaders have pulled a three-month government funding package from consideration amid mounting opposition from President-elect Donald Trump and members of the GOP conference.

Congress is racing against the clock before the government shutdown deadline on Friday.

Elon Musk's pressure campaign against Congress hit a snag after he pushed House GOP leadership to scrap a spending bill that would avert a government shutdown.

House Republican leaders must return to square one to finalize a spending agreement before the government is scheduled to shut down after midnight on Friday.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) must craft a spending agreement that can appease his right flank while also gaining the approval of Donald Trump.

The House is poised to vote on three bills to fund the government, provide disaster aid, and help farmers. Trump's demand for debt limit would wait until 2025.

The House passed a stopgap spending bill to extend government funding into early next year, completing the first step to avoid a shutdown just hours before the deadline.

The package will now head to the Democratic-led Senate for consideration, which must be passed and sent to President Joe Biden’s desk before the midnight deadline on Friday.

The funding package will punt the funding deadline until March 14 and provides an additional $110.4 billion in disaster aid and economic assistance for farmers.
