We’ve been reporting on the government funding battle.
After a push from President-elect Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy, the GOP cut out a lot the pork. presenting a clean bill that included disaster relief and funded the government to March.
But as we reported earlier, the bill failed to pass. So that leaves the Speaker Mike Johnson with having to come up with a Plan C.
38 Republicans voted no, along with most of the Democrats.
Musk placed the blame for the failure squarely on Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
The fault is now squarely on the Democrats. If they wanted to pass disaster relief without the pork, there was their chance. So they can’t talk.
Vice President-elect JD Vance had a pretty spicy response.
