President Joe Biden's administration has announced it will abandon efforts to implement key regulations concerning transgender student athletes and student loan forgiveness, signaling the first steps in a broader plan to prevent President-elect Donald Trump from reworking these initiatives once he takes office.
President-elect Donald Trump said the need to pass a spending bill is "a Biden problem," emphasizing that it is better for a government shutdown to occur now than when Trump takes office.
President Donald Trump has publicly called for Republican Representative Chip Roy (TX) to face a primary challenge, accusing him of obstructing Republican efforts to secure a victory in the ongoing debate over a new continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government. Trump's comments come in the wake of the collapse of both the Democrats' and Mike Johnson’s government spending bill, which has led Congress to deliberate a new piece of legislation known as the “American Relief Act of 2024.” The bill seeks to prevent a government shutdown while addressing issues such as disaster relief for areas affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, as well as supporting farmers.
