President Trump announced a “SUCCESS in Washington” Thursday evening after the House scrapped its continuing resolution (CR) bill to fund the government until March 14 and came to an agreement on a new bill that Trump described as “VITAL to the America First Agenda.”
The new American Relief Act of 2024 “will keep the Government open, fund our Great Farmers and others, and provide relief for those severely impacted by the devastating hurricanes,” said Trump.
The bill also suspends the debt limit for two years, which President Trump demanded in a statement Wednesday.
The vote is expected tonight, but exactly when it is currently unclear.
A vote for the previous bill to fund the government until March was expected on Wednesday but postponed after conservatives came out in staunch opposition. As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance also slammed Congress ahead of the vote, stating that the bill accomplishes “nothing for the American people” and called for a new “temporary funding bill WITHOUT DEMOCRAT GIVEAWAYS.”
The Gateway Pundit reported on Wednesday that Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) heads Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy came out in opposition to the previous 1,547-page bill, with Musk highlighting several issues that waste taxpayer dollars. “This bill should not pass,“ said Musk, who further noted massive pay raises for members of Congress as well as upgrades in lawmakers’ health insurance plans.
Additionally, the bill contained a section essentially mandating a court to “quash or modify any legal process directed to the provider for a House office if compliance…would require the disclosure of House data of the House office.” This would essentially give the House office exclusive jurisdiction over their records, The Gateway Pundit reported.
The previous CR would put the Swamp first, not everyday Americans.
President Trump posted on Truth Social at 4 pm ET:
SUCCESS in Washington!
Speaker Mike Johnson and the House have come to a very good Deal for the American People. The newly agreed to American Relief Act of 2024 will keep the Government open, fund our Great Farmers and others, and provide relief for those severely impacted by the devastating hurricanes.
A VERY important piece, VITAL to the America First Agenda, was added as well – The date of the very unnecessary Debt Ceiling will be pushed out two years, to January 30, 2027. Now we can Make America Great Again, very quickly, which is what the People gave us a mandate to accomplish.
All Republicans, and even the Democrats, should do what is best for our Country, and vote “YES” for this Bill, TONIGHT!
The Gateway Pundit will provide updates on tonight’s vote.

Jordan has played a critical role in exposing fraud and corruption in Arizona’s elections and elected officials. His reporting on election crimes in Maricopa County led to the resignation of one election official, and he was later banned from the Maricopa County press room for his courage in pursuit of the truth. TGP and Jordan finally gained access after suing Maricopa County, America’s fourth largest county, and winning at the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Conradson looks forward to bringing his aggressive style of journalism to the Swamp.
