Government Shutdown Threatens as Trump-Backed Bill Fails in Congress

As the U.S. government nears a shutdown due to funding issues, a revised Republican spending plan backed by Donald Trump has failed to pass the House. Speaker Mike Johnson’s proposal was rejected after significant opposition from House Democrats and several Republicans. The bill, aimed at tying government funding to a suspension of the federal debt limit, faced criticism from key figures including tech billionaire Elon Musk, who lobbied against it. With the deadline looming, Congress struggles to find a bipartisan solution amidst growing partisan tensions.
