"The passage of the continuing resolution, which will keep agencies afloat through Dec. 20, sets up a new fight over government funding during the lame duck session of Congress just before Christmas."
"House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., agreeing to a stopgap CR came over the objections of former President Trump, who instructed Republicans to reject any funding deal if it did not include legislative provisions to address his unsubstantiated claims of widespread voting from non-citizens."
"Johnson told reporters on Tuesday that there was 'no daylight' between him and Trump. 'I'm not defying President Trump,' Johnson said. 'We're getting our job done.'"
"The CR will largely continue agency funding at their fiscal 2024 levels, though it includes some 'anomalies,' including $231 million to the U.S. Secret Service for its protective mission."
