President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance have released a joint statement over the ‘lame-duck’ stop-gap spending bill that Congress is expected to vote on ahead of a Friday deadline to avoid a government shutdown.
The 1,547-page bill was just released Tuesday night, and is receiving massive backlash over all the radical provisions Democrats have slipped into it. The bill would extend government funding through March 14.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who have been selected by Trump to lead the new DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) agency, along with many other conservatives, are urging Republicans NOT to vote for massive pork-filled bill, and Trump and Vance indicate they are in agreement.
Below is the statement Trump just blasted out on social media Wednesday afternoon:
A statement from President Donald J. Trump and Vice President-Elect JD Vance:
The most foolish and inept thing ever done by Congressional Republicans was allowing our country to hit the debt ceiling in 2025. It was a mistake and is now something that must be addressed.
Meanwhile, Congress is considering a spending bill that would give sweetheart provisions for government censors and for Liz Cheney. The bill would make it easier to hide the records of the corrupt January 6 committee—which accomplished nothing for the American people and hid security failures that happened that day. This bill would also give Congress a pay increase while many Americans are struggling this Christmas.
Increasing the debt ceiling is not great but we’d rather do it on Biden’s watch. If Democrats won’t cooperate on the debt ceiling now, what makes anyone think they would do it in June during our administration? Let’s have this debate now. And we should pass a streamlined spending bill that doesn’t give Chuck Schumer and the Democrats everything they want.
Republicans want to support our farmers, pay for disaster relief, and set our country up for success in 2025. The only way to do that is with a temporary funding bill WITHOUT DEMOCRAT GIVEAWAYS combined with an increase in the debt ceiling. Anything else is a betrayal of our country.
Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH. If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF. It is Schumer and Biden who are holding up aid to our farmers and disaster relief.
THIS CHAOS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IF WE HAD A REAL PRESIDENT. WE WILL IN 32 DAYS!
