Live updates: Republicans regroup to find a funding bill 'plan C'
The House rejected a Republican plan to stave off a government shutdown on Thursday, hours after GOP members crafted a new spending proposal and President-elect Trump endorsed it.
The first plan, a bipartisan effort, went down in flames when it was opposed by many members and Trump.

Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) handling of the end-of-year spending deal has thrown his future into uncertain territory ahead of a critical Jan. 3 Speaker vote. Trump and Elon Musk put heat on the Speaker when they publicly lobbied on Wednesday against the first plan.
Trump expressed his support for the new deal, calling for lawmakers to vote in favor of the funding stopgap, which omits certain language regarding a Congress pay raise and other measures.
