Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray are resolute in their decision to move forward with the original stopgap spending bill plan, despite opposition from billionaire Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump.
Murray emphasized her readiness for a potential partial government shutdown and willingness to remain in Washington, D.C., over the Christmas holiday if Republicans do not revert to the initial short-term spending bill that was previously proposed.
