WASHINGTON — A gov­ern­ment shut­down at risk, House Speaker Mike John­son is
fight­ing to fig­ure out how to meet Pres­id­ent-elect Don­ald Trump’s sud­den
demands — and keep his own job — while fed­eral offices are being told to
pre­pare to shut­ter oper­a­tions ahead of Fri­day’s mid­night dead­line.

Trump said early Thursday that John­son will “eas­ily remain speaker” for the
next Con­gress if he “acts decis­ively and tough” in com­ing up with a new plan
to also increase the debt limit, a stun­ning request just before the Christ­mas
hol­i­days that has put the belea­guered speaker in a bind.

And if not, the pres­id­ent-elect warned of trouble ahead for John­son and
Repub­lic­ans in Con­gress.

“Any­body that sup­ports a bill that doesn’t take care of the Demo­crat
quick­sand known as the debt ceil­ing should be primar­ied and dis­posed of as
quickly as pos­sible,” Trump told Fox News Digital.

The tumul­tu­ous turn of events, com­ing days before Fri­day’s mid­night
dead­line to fund the gov­ern­ment and as law­makers were pre­par­ing to head
home for the hol­i­days, sparks a famil­iar reminder of what it’s like in
Trump-run Wash­ing­ton.

Trump led Repub­lic­ans into the longest gov­ern­ment shut­down in his­tory
dur­ing the 2018 Christ­mas sea­son, and inter­rup­ted the hol­i­days in 2020 by
tank­ing a bipar­tisan Covid-relief bill and for­cing a do-over.

For John­son, who faces his own prob­lems ahead of a Jan. 3 House vote to remain
speaker, Trump’s demands kept him work­ing long into the night to broker a new
deal. Vice Pres­id­ent-elect JD Vance joined the late-night meet­ings at the
Cap­itol, bring­ing his young son in paja­mas.

Trump’s allies even floated the far-fetched idea of giv­ing bil­lion­aire Elon
Musk the speaker’s gavel, since the speaker is not required to be a mem­ber of
the Con­gress.

“We had a pro­duct­ive meet­ing. We’re going to con­tinue to work through the
night, in the morn­ing to get, to get an agree­ment,” said Major­ity Leader
Steve Scal­ise, RLa., as he left the speaker’s office late Wed­nes­day.

But adding an increase in the debt ceil­ing to what had been a bipar­tisan
pack­age is a show-stop­per for Repub­lic­ans who routinely vote against more
bor­row­ing.
