In an early legislative test for Trump, plan B spending bill tanks in House
In a significant political setback, House Republicans could not pass President-elect Trump's spending bill, failing by a vote of 235-174. The bill aimed to avert a government shutdown but drew opposition from within the party, notably from Rep. Chip Roy, who criticized its fiscal implications. This failure highlights the challenges Trump may face in rallying Republican support amidst deepening divisions over government spending and debt management.

'Embarrassment from beginning to end': Republicans pile on embattled GOP speaker
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is coming under increased fire from members of his own party over the deal he cut with House Democrats to keep the government open.Conservatives in the House lobbed even more criticism at the proposed continuing resolution, which would give lawmakers a cost-of-living pay raise for the first time since 2009 and would end rules forcing members of Congress to buy health coverage from health care exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act.Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), for one, did not mince words when it came to criticizing Johnson's work on the spending package."The speaker’s been an embarrassment from beginning to end, and the CR is the latest example of this," Hawley said, according to Punchbowl News' Max Cohen. "The CR is a total disaster. Why he continues to be elected as speaker is beyond me."ALSO READ: 'Betrayal to the American people': Democratic strategist confronts ex-Trump adviser on CNNFormer Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, meanwhile, appeared on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast and criticized Johnson's bill for containing "72 pages of pandemic preparedness and response policy" and declared that it "should fail."Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), meanwhile, compared Johnson to a dog eating its own vomit."Like a dog to its vomit, big-spending Republicans in Congress are returning to what’s familiar and neglecting what’s necessary," he wrote on Twitter."Everything I am hearing about the CR thus far leads me to believe that I’ll be voting NO," complained Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY). "Republicans are in the majority and yet the Democrats seem to get more of their priorities in than we do." — (@) — (@) — (@) — (@)
