Funding Bill Failure: A spending bill backed by Donald Trump failed in the U.S. House of Representatives. This bill was intended to extend government funding for three months and suspend the debt ceiling for two years. Almost three dozen Republicans joined Democrats to vote against it, leading to an impending government shutdown set for midnight on Friday.
 

Trump's Endorsement: Before the vote, Trump had endorsed a new Continuing Resolution (CR) deal, calling it a "very good Deal for the American People" that would keep the government open, fund farmers, and provide hurricane relief. However, this endorsement did not sway enough Republicans to pass the legislation.
 

Political Dynamics: The situation has highlighted a divide within the Republican party, with some members defying Trump's endorsement. There's also criticism from Democrats, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries describing the latest proposal as "laughable" and refusing to support it.
 

Next Steps: With the failure of this bill, Congress is left with less than 24 hours to secure a new deal before government funding lapses. House Speaker Mike Johnson mentioned regrouping to find another solution, but as of the latest reports, it's unclear what that solution will look like.
