House Republicans Reject Spending Bill Under Pressure From Trump, Musk: Government Faces Shutdown
On Wednesday, House Republicans rejected Speaker Mike Johnson's proposed spending bill that would have extended federal funding until March 14 and averted a government shutdown.
周三,众议院共和党人拒绝了议长迈克·约翰逊提出的支出法案,该法案本会延续联邦资金至3月14日,并避免政府停摆。
The Details: President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk joined a large portion of House GOP members in opposing the compromise bill which included numerous Democratic policy priorities.
详细信息:当选总统特朗普和埃隆·马斯克与大多数众议院共和党成员联合反对包括众多民主党政策优先事项的妥协法案。
Some of the Republican-contested late additions from Democrats included a pay raise for members of Congress, new regulations for health plan administrators and federal funds to rebuild the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge. The provisions were added after Johnson opened the door with a last-minute addition of $10 billion in aid for farmers.
一些共和党在与民主党争辩时提出的临时附加条款包括为国会议员加薪、为医疗计划管理者新增监管以及联邦资金重建倒塌的弗朗西斯·斯科特·基桥。这些条款是在约翰逊最终时刻增加100亿援助农民后加入的。

What's Next: Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, has not outlined a backup plan and the next step remains unclear, according to sources familiar with the discussions, per the Washington Post.
