Capitol Hill gripped by uncertainty after House rejects temporary funding deal that was hastily assembled after Trump and Musk tanked bipartisan agreement

By a vote of 174-235, the House of Representatives rejected a Trump-backed package, hastily assembled by Republican leaders after the president-elect and his billionaire ally Elon Musk scuttled a prior bipartisan deal.
