The U.S. government is on the verge of a shutdown, with Republican leadership racing against the clock to put together a continuing resolution that would satisfy House Republicans.

Plans for a calm holiday season were interrupted Wednesday when House Republicans revolted against a continuing resolution that expanded current levels of government funding until March 14 and included an additional $110.4 billion in spending. The revolt received the backing of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, sending House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) back to the drawing board with just two days until the deadline of midnight Friday.
