Despite the backing of GOP leadership and President-elect Donald Trump, a proposal meant to avert a looming government shutdown failed 174-235 in the House on Thursday afternoon.
The package from Speaker Mike Johnson and the Appropriations Committee was the second attempt at passing a resolution to fund the government into March 2025. The so-called "Plan B" was launched after the disapproval of Trump and billionaire Elon Musk sunk a resolution meant to fund the federal government on Wednesday.
