Trump Opposes Republican Budget Agreement

Donald Trump has criticized Congress over the failed spending bill negotiations, urging GOP lawmakers to eliminate or extend the debt ceiling until 2029. His comments follow a vote that rejected a Republican spending plan, which he and Elon Musk had influenced negatively. The new proposal, which includes significant disaster relief and a two-year suspension of the borrowing limit, faces opposition from Democrats who deem it unserious. Trump and incoming VP J.D. Vance advocate for a 'clean' continuing resolution, free of additional provisions, asserting that any concessions to Democrats are a betrayal. With a government shutdown looming, they emphasize the need to confront the debt ceiling issue responsibly. The political maneuvering continues as both parties gear up for a critical vote before the shutdown deadline.
