President-elect Donald Trump has rejected a bipartisan budget deal, citing it as too favorable to Democrats. This move, fueled by criticism from Elon Musk, could trigger a partial government shutdown.
President-elect Donald Trump rejected a bipartisan congressional budget negotiation, calling it full of giveaways to Democrats, after unelected billionaire ally Elon Musk stirred outrage towards the bill and encouraged Republican lawmakers who opposed it. This rejection could lead to a partial shutdown of the U.S. government on Saturday, potentially causing delays or closures in government services funded by Congress.
Thousands of non-essential employees might be furloughed, and essential employees could work temporarily without pay. There were two government shutdowns during Trump's first presidency, both related to his demands for border security funding. One lasted for a few days in January 2018, and the other lasted for five weeks at the end of 2018 and beginning of 2019. Trump's joint statement with vice-president-elect J.D. Vance stopped the bill, following Elon Musk's social media attacks on the legislation for what he deemed excessive spending. Musk wrote on his platform X, 'Stop the steal of your tax dollars!' and threatened primary challenges against anyone who voted for the budget deal
