FILE—Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., joined from left by Rep. Blake Moore, R-Utah, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., leaves a news conference after presenting his final version of an interim pending bill to his caucus, at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2024. President-elect Donald Trump has now abruptly rejected the bipartisan plan to prevent a Christmastime government shutdown. Instead, he's telling House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans to essentially renegotiate — days before a deadline when federal funding runs out. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)
