Trump and Elon Musk Unite Against 1,547-Page CR Spending Bill Backed by Speaker Johnson

Dec 18, 2024, 08:58 PM

Former President Donald Trump has expressed strong opposition to the proposed Continuing Resolution (CR) spending bill, a 1,547-page legislation aimed at funding the government. Speaking to Fox News, Trump declared he is "totally against" the bill, emphasizing that "the fight starts now, rather than January 20th." His stance aligns him with other prominent figures, such as Elon Musk, who have criticized the bill as a "monstrous omnibus CR bill" and suggested that any Republican supporting it should lose their seat. The proposed legislation, pushed by House Speaker Mike Johnson, has faced mounting opposition from conservatives advocating for its rejection.
