The swift rejection of the spending bill threatens to unravel weeks of negotiations that led to the inclusion of key regional priorities, including the RFK Stadium redevelopment.
The RFK legislation would transfer control of the federal property surrounding the stadium to D.C., allowing the Mayor to negotiate with the Commanders to possibly lure them back.
President-elect Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk escalated Republican opposition, leading to a last-minute halt of the spending bill intended to keep the government funded.
House Speaker Mike Johnson's plans for a new version of the spending bill remain unclear as opposition mounts, jeopardizing the funding for the long-awaited projects.
