stopgap

Despite the pushback from Trump and his allies, the stopgap bill that finally passed did not include a debt ceiling increase, which sparked further outrage and dissent among the GOP’s most conservative members.

Support for the stopgap spending bill then collapsed, forcing Johnson and his leadership team to scramble to find an alternative path forward.

In a post to Truth Social, Trump said that any Republican who negotiates with Democrats to pass the stopgap funding measure "should, and will, be primaried."

Musk's impromptu whipping of votes in opposition to the spending bill reportedly has House Speaker Mike Johnson considering a narrower resolution that would carve out much of the stopgap bill's appropriations.

The new language redefined the stockpile’s role as “to supplement state and local supplies ... as a short-term stopgap.”
