ChainCatcher news, according to The Hill, U.S. House Speaker Johnson, a Republican, is considering a "Plan B" to fund the government before the Friday deadline for a government shutdown, as Republicans both inside and outside Congress, including those from Trump's team, are criticizing his spending plan.Trump earlier also expressed to a Fox News host that he is completely opposed to the continuing resolution spending bill. This aligns with Musk's view, who stated that any lawmaker supporting the bill should be ousted. Two insiders indicated that the alternative Johnson is considering is a "clean" continuing resolution bill. This would require abandoning the additional provisions included in the initial 1500-page spending package negotiated by congressional leaders, including disaster relief and economic aid for farmers.
