Elon Musk and Donald Trump mounted an online offensive to sink the bill.
House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) spending deal to keep the government open was sunk by Republicans on Wednesday after a pressure campaign from President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
The Washington Post reported that the deal was officially dead and that Johnson has not outlined what his backup plan is as those close to the situation indicate that it was not clear what will happen next.
Musk posted on X that the “terrible bill” was now “dead” after Representatives heard backlash from their constituents.
If a bill is not passed, nonessential government functions would begin shutting down at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday.
