Rep. Michelle Steel, R-Calif., is under consideration to serve as the U.S. ambassador to South Korea in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration. Steel, the first Korean-American woman elected to Congress, recently lost her reelection bid by a narrow 604-vote margin. Discussions about her appointment come amid heightened interest in South Korea due to significant political upheaval.
Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), Chair of the House Freedom Caucus, told Fox Business that the House GOP needs to consider if new leadership is needed to advance President-elect Donald Trump's agenda.
Reports indicate that President Donald Trump is growing increasingly frustrated with House Speaker Mike Johnson following last week’s government funding debacle, leaving the future of their relationship uncertain. According to Politico's Rachael Bade, several of Trump’s insiders expressed anger over Johnson’s failure to deliver the debt ceiling hike Trump sought, making it more difficult for Republicans to pass the President’s agenda next year.
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.
