20.12.2024 ⇢ The Day House Defied Trump Thrice
⌨
The House vote on Trump's endorsed spending bill failed in early morning hours, with 38 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition. This marked the first of three attempts to prevent government shutdown before the midnight deadline.
By midday, Speaker Johnson announced a new plan without Trump's debt ceiling demands, while Trump shifted position to suggest eliminating the ceiling entirely. Elon Musk's influence on the process drew Senate Democratic criticism, with leadership declaring "we're not going to let Elon Musk run the government."
Evening developments centered on passage of the third spending bill, achieving bipartisan support by dropping Trump's demands. The action shifted to Senate with hours remaining. Concurrent coverage followed a vehicle attack at a German Christmas market in Magdeburg, with reports indicating two deaths and dozens injured.
