Government shutdown live updates: Biden signs bill that averts government shutdown

President-elect Donald Trump, in an early morning post on his social media platform, said Congress should either "get rid of" or extend the debt ceiling, saying his position was that "without this, we should never make a deal."

The post, which came a little after 1 a.m., was published after the House failed to pass the government funding bill Trump supported.

Trump added that the pressure is on the incumbent president, although he didn't mention President Joe Biden by name. He floated the year 2029 as a possibility for a new debt ceiling deadline.

House Speaker Mike Johnson departed the Capitol Thursday night and said "we'll see" when asked if the House will vote on another spending bill on Friday.

Earlier Thursday, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said leaders will "keep working" and didn't specify what the next step would be.

"What exactly is in or out hasn't been decided," Scalise said.

Scalise blamed Democrats for voting down the bill Thursday, saying, "They want to try to shut it down."

Congress faces a deadline of midnight Friday to sort out funding or a government shutdown kicks in.

In a series of posts Thursday night, Elon Musk blamed Democrats for the failure of the government funding plan that he pushed along with Trump.

"Shame on @RepJeffries for rejecting a fair & simple spending bill that is desperately needed by states suffering from hurricane damage!" Musk wrote.

In another, he wrote: "Objectively, the vast majority of Republican House members voted for the spending bill, but only 2 Democrats did. Therefore, if the government shuts down, it is obviously the fault of @RepJeffries and the Democratic Party. Plain & simple."

Musk mounted a pressure campaign on House Republicans on Wednesday to vote against the bipartisan bill that Johnson intended to bring to the floor. On Thursday, 38 Republicans - most of them fiscal conservatives - voted against a stripped-down version that cut out add-ons to the spending plan but extended a suspension of the country's debt limit.

Speaker Mike Johnson huddled with fellow Republicans for nearly an hour inside the House chamber after the failed vote before emerging and telling reporters that Republicans would "regroup" and "come up with another solution."

There are no more votes expected in the House Thursday night, Majority Leader Steve Scalise announced.

"The only difference on this legislation was that we would push the debt ceiling to January of 2027," Johnson said. "I want you all to remember that it was just last spring that the same Democrats berated Republicans and said that it was irresponsible to hold the debt limit, the debt ceiling, hostage. What changed?"

Johnson expressed dismay - calling it "very disappointing" that Democrats opposed the vote - though he did not address the 38 Republicans who also voted against it.

"It is, I think, really irresponsible for us to risk a shutdown over these issues on things that they have already agreed upon," Johnson said. "I think you need to be asking them the questions about that. We will regroup and we will come up with another solution. So stay tuned."
