US Government Shutdown:
During his first term, Trump presided over two government shutdowns — one lasting a record 35 days in a post-election period following the 2018 midterm elections.
President-elect Donald Trump said he opposes a proposed funding bill and threatened to oust fellow Republicans if they accepted legislation that didn’t include his demands, increasing the likelihood of a government shutdown later this week.
Trump on Wednesday — just days before federal funding is set to expire — said he wanted lawmakers to include an increase to the debt ceiling in the package, a politically fraught measure that would allow the Treasury Department to issue new debt to pay existing obligations.
