House Speaker Mike Johnson is fighting to meet President-elect Donald Trump ’s sudden demands.

Trump said 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.

Federal funding is scheduled to expire at midnight Friday , a current temporary government funding bill running out.

The White House’s Office of Management and Budget had provided initial communication to agencies about lapse planning last week , an official at the agency said.

Republicans floated a new idea for a scaled-back bill that would simply keep the government running and provide disaster assistance to hurricane ravaged regions.
