House Rejects Trump-Backed Plan on U.S. Government Shutdown, Next Steps Uncertain

The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to reject a government shutdown plan backed by former President Donald Trump, leaving the path forward for funding the government unclear. The proposal, which had been supported by many Republican lawmakers aligned with Trump, failed to garner enough support in the House.

The plan aimed to cut government spending and impose stricter immigration policies, but it faced opposition from both Democrats and some moderate Republicans. Critics argued that the proposal was too extreme and could lead to severe cuts in essential services.

With the shutdown deadline fast approaching, lawmakers are now scrambling to find a compromise. The rejection of the Trump-backed plan has intensified the pressure on both parties to come up with an alternative to avoid a government shutdown.

Democrats have called for a clean funding bill to keep the government running, while Republicans are divided over the best course of action. The uncertainty surrounding the next steps has raised concerns about the potential impact on federal workers and services.

As the clock ticks down, negotiations in Congress will continue, with no clear solution in sight.
