Trump attacks Rep. Massie for opposing funding bill
Donald Trump criticized Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) for opposing a government funding bill, which passed the House 217-213. Massie was the only Republican to vote against it, prompting Trump to threaten support for a primary challenger. The funding bill now moves to the Senate, where it needs bipartisan support to pass. Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, have not confirmed their stance on the measure, with some expressing a preference for a shorter-term solution. Congress faces a deadline on Friday to fund the government and prevent a shutdown. The situation highlights divisions within the Republican Party and the challenges of securing enough votes in the Senate.
