Speaker Johnson's government funding play hits the rocks within House GOP

House Republicans on opposite sides of the conference are grimacing at the potential plan to kick government funding into the new year.

Zinke said a short-term bill that kicks the fiscal year (FY) 2025 government spending fight into early next year could impede Trump’s goal of immediately implementing his agenda in the first 100 days of the new administration.  Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital leading coverage of the House of Representatives.

"You’ve always heard the first 100 days is extremely important, and it is. But to be bogged down in the first 100 days dealing with the issues of last Congress, I think it unfortunately doesn't provide the runway," Zinke said.
