President-elect makes clear he would want a shutdown to happen while Joe Biden is still in office as Congress scrambles to find last-minute deal

• Trump demands again to suspend US debt ceiling after funding deal fails

Reporters at the Capitol have spotted Republican House speaker Mike Johnson arriving at his office.

“We’re expecting votes this morning, so y’all stay tuned,” Johnson said. “We got a plan.”

If there is going to be a shutdown of government, let it begin now, under the Biden Administration, not after January 20th, under “TRUMP.” This is a Biden problem to solve, but if Republicans can help solve it, they will!
