US Congress scrambles to try to avert looming shutdown after Donald Trump demand rejected
US Congress was scrambling to avert a partial government shutdown on Friday, hours after more than three dozen Republicans rejected a demand by President-elect Donald Trump to use the measure to lift the nation's debt ceiling.
Republican House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson was trying to plot a course that could pass both his chamber, with narrow Republican control, and the Democratic-majority Senate, as a midnight Friday (0500 GMT Saturday) funding deadline loomed.
«We have a plan,» Johnson told reporters at the Capitol on Friday. «We're expecting votes this morning.»
Conservative Republicans on Thursday rejected Trump's demand to lift the debt limit, which could add trillions more to the government's $36 trillion in debt.
Trump, who takes office in one month, overnight ratcheted up his rhetoric, calling for a five-year suspension of the U.S. debt ceiling even after members of his party's right flank balked at an earlier two-year extension.
