House Gop Drops Trump’s Debt Ceiling Demand

“House Republicans are eyeing a new spending proposal that would tee up votes on three separate measures: to fund the government, appropriate disaster relief and allocate farm assistance,” The Hill reports. “But in a shift from previous strategy — and in a break from President-elect Trump’s request — the new plan does not include a measure to increase the debt ceiling, the sources said, a move that could spark the ire of the incoming president, who demanded that such language be included.” Punchbowl News notes the vote may need to wait until tomorrow — after the government shuts down.
