The House voted 366-34 to pass a short-term funding bill to keep the government operational through March 14, 2025, eliminating controversial debt ceiling provisions pushed by President-elect Trump. This decision, made just hours before the shutdown deadline, aims to prevent disruptions to federal services during the holiday season. Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized unity among Republicans despite pressures from Trump, who faces dissent from some party members. The funding bill includes disaster relief and agricultural aid, while public criticism surrounding the influence of Trump and Elon Musk over Congress remains a focal point.
