Summary
Congress faces a Dec. 20 deadline to avoid a government shutdown, likely passing a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government until March 2025.
This would delay a full spending deal but give Republicans more influence under Trump and a GOP-controlled Senate. However, it creates an early funding deadline in Trump’s term, complicating his agenda on tax cuts and immigration.
Democrats retain power to shape legislation due to the Senate’s 60-vote threshold.
Disaster relief funding and House Speaker Mike Johnson’s re-election further complicate negotiations.
Electoral reality doesn’t align with your loud shouting unfortunately
“So voters in some places are making real distinctions to say this is not somebody who is aligned with Trump or represents him in the same way, or this is someone who has the state’s interest in mind in a way that other candidates don’t,” he said. “And that really is a different story from one state to the next.”
