House Republicans are regrouping after a significant setback in their efforts to avoid a government shutdown. A spending bill endorsed by Trump was voted down, exposing ongoing divisions within the party and resulting in chaos in Congress. The rejection of this bill comes just days before a potential government shutdown, raising concerns among federal workers and prompting blame to be directed towards Democrats for the failure. With Trump’s influence seeming to complicate bipartisan negotiations, lawmakers face uncertainty on next steps as they navigate the impending fiscal crisis.
