The federal government is set to run out of money Friday night.
WASHINGTON -- Republican congressional leaders Thursday night failed to pass a revamped plan to avoid a government shutdown looming Friday night -- and to satisfy President-elect Donald Trump's explosive demand that the debt limit be raised, or eliminated, at the same time.
Thousands of federal workers could have to work without pay, others could be furloughed and many government services could be affected.
Democrats say Republicans will own the consequences since Trump and his ally Elon Musk blew up a funding deal GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson had proposed.
The new legislation is a short-term extension that funds government through March 14, 2025.
It does not address the debt limit in the legislative text, which was a key demand from President-elect Donald Trump.
It also includes $100 billion for disaster aid; $30 billion for farmers; and a one-year extension of the farm bill.
A new, 118-page bill has been released to fund the government and avert a shutdown after a day of closed-door talks and negotiations among House Republicans.
There are plans to begin debate on the text soon and vote within the next hour.
The bill is being brought to the floor under suspension of the rules and will require a two-thirds majority for passage.
The funding options Republicans are mulling over to avoid a government shutdown exclude Trump's demand to extend or eliminate the debt ceiling.
But sources told ABC News that Republicans came to an "agreement" on Friday to raise the debt limit by $1.5 trillion in the first reconciliation package of the next Congress, with a $2.5 trillion cut in net mandatory spending in the process.
This was presented to members in a closed-door meeting to discuss spending ahead of Friday night's shutdown deadline.
Mandatory spending includes highly popular entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare -- which Trump vowed on the campaign trail not to touch.

House Speaker Mike Johnson was confident there would be no shutdown after huddling with his conference behind closed doors for several hours.
Johnson told reporters that Republicans have reached an agreement "to move forward." Though he notably declined to divulge the particulars of the plan ahead of a potential vote on Friday afternoon.
"We have a unified Republican conference," Johnson said.
"There is a unanimous agreement in the room that we need to move forward," he added.
Leaving the meeting, Johnson hinted that he was prepared to run the latest plan past Trump.
"I will not telegraph to you the specific details of that yet, because I've got a couple of things I got to wrap up in a few moments upstairs, but I expect that we will be proceeding forward," Johnson said.
Nevertheless, the speaker predicted that Congress will act prior to the funding deadline tonight.
"We will not have a government shutdown, and we will meet our obligations for our farmers who need aid, for the disaster victims all over the country, and making sure that military and essential services and everyone who relies upon the federal government for a paycheck is paid over the holidays. I'll give you the more details here in just a few moments," Johnson said.
According to multiple sources, Republican House leadership laid out two options at the conference meeting to fund the government.
One option is a clean continuing resolution to fund the government at current levels until March without debt limit suspension. The vote would be held under suspension of the rules, requiring a two-thirds majority.
The other choice is to hold separate votes on a clean continuing resolution to March, on additional disaster relief and on an extension of farm bill.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., declined to provide details on what the next step is to avert a government shutdown as he emerged from the meeting.
"So, we are talking through different options," Scalise said.
Asked by ABC News' Jay O'Brien if taking the debt limit out of the equation defies Trump, Scalise responded: "The debt limit is taken out because the Democrats walked away from that last night."
Sources tell ABC News Republicans also came to an "agreement" to raise the debt limit by $1.5 trillion in the first reconciliation package with a $2.5 trillion cut in net mandatory spending in the reconciliation process. This was presented to members in the closed-door meeting.
