He urged Republicans to resist compromises that would perpetuate traditional spending practices, suggesting a government shutdown could be beneficial to demonstrate commitment to reform.
Despite opposition, a Trump-backed spending bill also failed to pass in the House, as lawmakers struggled to find a path forward on government funding amidst rising national debt.
