  • Mike Johnson, the Republican House Speaker, opposes a government spending bill backed by President-elect Donald Trump.
  • Elon Musk's opposition to the proposed continuing resolution is consistent with Trump's stance.

On Wednesday, President-elect Trump opposed a Republican-supported spending bill, aligning with Elon Musk's campaign against it and increasing the likelihood of a government shutdown.

According to a source close to Trump, he is against the continuing resolution proposed by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson.

According to sources, Trump stated to a Fox News host that he is completely opposed to the CR.

On Wednesday afternoon, Vice President-elect JD Vance and President Trump issued a joint statement calling for a streamlined bill that doesn't grant Democrats all their demands.

Vance posted a statement saying that Republicans want to support farmers, pay for disaster relief, and set the country up for success in 2025. The only way to do that is with a temporary funding bill without Democrat giveaways, combined with an increase in the debt ceiling.

"Anything other than our country is a betrayal," their statement read.
