President-elect Donald Trump praised a revised government funding bill on Thursday after he and billionaire Elon Musk torpedoed an initial bipartisan agreement. "SUCCESS in Washington!" Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. "Speaker Mike Johnson and the House have come to a very good Deal for the American People."

EXCLUSIVE: President-elect Donald Trump told Fox News Digital that House Speaker Mike Johnson will “easily remain speaker" for the next Congress if he “acts decisively and tough" and eliminates “all of the traps being set by Democrats" in the spending package.

With the funding deadline looming and his speakership on the line, Johnson faces a quixotic to-do list: negotiate a new funding bill to avert a government shutdown, address a list of asks by Trump and his allies — and then hope there are somehow enough House Republican votes so that he doesn’t have to rely on Democrats to pass it.

President-elect Donald Trump sided with Elon Musk in his opposition to House Speaker Mike Johnson 's bill to temporarily fund the government as Congress scrambles to pass a spending bill with only two days before the deadline to avoid a shutdown.

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s fate may well depend on whether he can stay in President-elect Donald Trump’s good graces.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A government shutdown at risk, House Speaker Mike Johnson is fighting to figure out how to meet President-elect Donald Trump’s sudden demands — and keep his own job — while federal offices are being told to prepare to shutter operations ahead of Friday’s midnight deadline.

After days of threats and demands, Donald Trump had little to show for it once lawmakers passed a budget deal.

President-elect Donald Trump isn’t joining calls from some in his party to replace House Speaker Mike Johnson at the start of the next Congress after the Louisiana Republican tanked a bipartisan deal to avert a government shutdown, apparently on orders from the world’s richest man, Elon Musk.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson criticized federal agencies for failing to come up with a thorough answer about the mysterious drones that have popped up around the country this past month and claimed if Donald Trump was in office he would have already solved it.

It's not a guarantee Mike Johnson will lose his job next Congress, but with a government shutdown looming days before Christmas, a challenge looks more likely.
