House Majority Leader Steve Scalise recently informed reporters that significant progress has been made towards reaching a funding deal. While details of the emerging measure were not disclosed, Scalise expressed optimism about the ongoing negotiations.
Scalise mentioned that discussions have been fruitful, stating, 'We’re working through some things. We had some real progress last night.' When asked about communication with President-elect Donald Trump, Scalise confirmed interactions with various individuals, including members of the incoming administration and Democratic counterparts.
Highlighting the importance of the funding bill, Scalise emphasized the goal of addressing immediate needs while setting the stage for President-elect Trump's successful transition into office. Regarding the potential for bipartisan support, Scalise expressed confidence in the bill's passage, stating, 'I think if you see a deal come together in the House and pass, it’s likely going to pass in the Senate too.'
However, Scalise did not provide details on any communication with Elon Musk, leaving that question unanswered.
