Members of Congress had been racing for agreement before Friday deadline after Trump earlier rejected bipartisan plan
Donald Trump threw his support behind House Republicans’ new plan to avert a government shutdown a day after the president-elect torpedoed a bipartisan plan to fund the government and plunged Capitol Hill into chaos days before the Christmas holiday.
“SUCCESS in Washington!” Trump posted on social media, as key Republicans said they had reached a tentative deal. “Speaker Mike Johnson and the House have come to a very good Deal.”
