Johnson spent the day negotiating the new plan with his fellow Republicans, after Trump and Musk rallied the GOP on Wednesday against a bipartisan proposal that Johnson had worked out with Democrats earlier.
Democrats — furious over Musk’s push to get the GOP to abandon the previous deal — refused to cooperate on Thursday with Johnson, who needed their support for the measure because some hard-line Republican lawmakers still opposed the new plan.
“One or two puppet masters weigh in and extreme MAGA Republicans decide to do the bidding of the wealthy, the well-connected, the millionaires and billionaires, not working-class people all across America,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) said on the House floor. “The bill that is before us today is just part of an effort to shut down the government.”
