Breitbart: Trump Opposes Mike Johnson's Spending Bill: 'Totally Against It'
President-elect Donald Trump has expressed strong opposition to the proposed continuing resolution (CR), criticizing it for including unrelated and costly provisions. He and Vice President-elect JD Vance argue that the bill would obscure records related to the January 6 committee and provide unnecessary pay increases for Congress while Americans face economic struggles.
The CR aims to extend current funding levels due to Congress's failure to pass the necessary funding bills, but it has drawn criticism from various lawmakers for being laden with excessive provisions. Key concerns include its potential to facilitate government censorship and the lack of accountability regarding congressional pay raises. The CR is set for a vote as government funding is set to expire.
