House GOP leadership tossed out a proposed stopgap spending bill after President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance on Wednesday slammed the continuing resolution and told Republicans to call Democrats' bluff on a government shutdown. 

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise confirmed that the deal was dead and that no new deal had been reached at the time of publishing.

“Obviously, there’s still a lot of negotiations and conversations going on, but there’s no new agreement,” Scalise told CNN.

Vance, who was on Capitol Hill earlier to meet with House Speaker Mike Johnson on a way forward, told reporters as he was leaving that he had a "productive conversation" with the speaker, but that negotiations were still ongoing.

“We had a productive conversation. I’m not going say anything else about it tonight because we are in the middle of these negotiations," Vance said. "But I think we will be able to solve some problems here and we will keep working on it."

Johnson is not expected to make any announcements on a new proposal on Wednesday night, the outlet reported.

The move comes after Trump and Vance heavily criticized the 1,547-paged proposal that congressional leaders unveiled late Tuesday night. The House was expected to vote on the legislation on Thursday.

"The most foolish and inept thing ever done by Congressional Republicans was allowing our country to hit the debt ceiling in 2025. It was a mistake and is now something that must be addressed," a statement from Trump and Vance posted to Vance's X account reads.

Congress has until Dec. 20 to pass a stopgap to fund the government until March of next year to avert a government shutdown. 

The continuing resolution has faced criticism from House Republicans for giving a pay raise to members of Congress and increasing the debt ceiling. 

"The bill would make it easier to hide the records of the corrupt January 6 committee—which accomplished nothing for the American people and hid security failures that happened that day," the statement said. "This bill would also give Congress a pay increase while many Americans are struggling this Christmas."

Both Trump and Vance called on Republicans to be tough and to call the Democrats' bluff regarding a potential government shutdown.

"Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH," the statement reads. "If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF. It is Schumer and Biden who are holding up aid to our farmers and disaster relief."

Congressman Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., predicted that if the stopgap bill gets scrapped, it will likely be replaced with a clean continuing resolution. 

"I would just suggest that it's probably going to be a clean CR so it won't be total disruption," Biggs said on a "Just the News, No Noise" special with AMAC.
