In a dramatic turn of events in Washington, the House of Representatives has voted down President-elect Donald Trump’s last-ditch effort to avoid a government shutdown.
The plan, which proposed funding federal operations and suspending the debt ceiling, was met with opposition from both sides of the aisle, with significant Republican dissent.
This rejection occurred just hours before the deadline, leaving the government on the brink of a shutdown.
Analysts are now speculating on the political fallout and what this means for Trump’s transition into office.
