After the House passed a shutdown-averting spending bill Friday, a very relieved Speaker Mike Johnson proclaimed to reporters that President-elect Donald Trump was “certainly happy about this outcome.

EXCLUSIVE: President-elect Donald Trump told Fox News Digital that House Speaker Mike Johnson will “easily remain speaker" for the next Congress if he “acts decisively and tough" and eliminates “all of the traps being set by Democrats" in the spending package.

At least one House Republican has said he will vote against Johnson. The speaker can lose only two GOP votes and still survive.

President-elect Donald Trump praised a revised government funding bill on Thursday after he and billionaire Elon Musk torpedoed an initial bipartisan agreement. "SUCCESS in Washington!" Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. "Speaker Mike Johnson and the House have come to a very good Deal for the American People."

Elon Musk has spent the week derailing a bipartisan funding bill, sending the U.S. government hurtling toward a shutdown. But on Friday, the tech billionaire broadened his scope from domestic to international politics with a ringing endorsement of Alternative for Germany, the country’s far-right political party.

President-elect Donald Trump sided with Elon Musk in his opposition to House Speaker Mike Johnson 's bill to temporarily fund the government as Congress scrambles to pass a spending bill with only two days before the deadline to avoid a shutdown.

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s fate may well depend on whether he can stay in President-elect Donald Trump’s good graces.

With the funding deadline looming and his speakership on the line, Johnson faces a quixotic to-do list: negotiate a new funding bill to avert a government shutdown, address a list of asks by Trump and his allies — and then hope there are somehow enough House Republican votes so that he doesn’t have to rely on Democrats to pass it.

An online spat between factions of Donald Trump’s supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in the president-elect’s political movement into public display.

The MAGA-verse could be on the brink of exploding into an all-encompassing constitutional crisis, with Donald Trump’s own inauguration as possible collateral. The incoming Congress is scheduled to start on Jan.
