Congress avoids a shutdown but leaves 'a big mess' for Trump and Republicans in 2025
Another funding bill. A debt limit extension. Major party-line bills on immigration and taxes. Nominations. Trump tried to push Congress to take the debt ceiling off his plate but failed.

WASHINGTON — Congress struck an eleventh-hour deal to avert a government shutdown during the holidays, but in the process, it lengthened an already extensive to-do list for the first year of President-elect Donald Trump’s return to office.
The funding bill keeps the government open until March 14. Even though Republicans will control the White House, the House and the Senate, they’ll again need Democratic votes to stop a shutdown in less than three months.
In addition, Trump’s demand that Congress extend or abolish the debt ceiling to take it off his plate next year failed dramatically. On Wednesday, he threatened electoral primary challenges against “any Republican” who voted to fund the government without dealing with the debt limit. On Friday, 170 House Republicans defied him and did just that.
