Trump criticizes the stopgap spending invoice, calling it too costly, whereas concurrently calling for a better debt ceiling.

Home Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., solutions questions from reporters after presenting his last model of a pending interim invoice to his caucus, on the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2024. The President Elected Donald Trump has now abruptly rejected the bipartisan plan to stop a Christmas authorities shutdown. As an alternative, he is telling Home Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans to basically renegotiate — days earlier than the deadline when federal funding runs out.
