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.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has become the first Republican to publicly announce he will not support Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) in the upcoming January speakership vote, following backlash over a massive spending bill released Tuesday evening.

Congressional leaders revealed a stopgap funding bill on Tuesday to keep the government operational until March 14, setting off a race to pass the legislation by the end of the week.
