Suspend the Debt Ceiling or Shutdown the Government.

Trump separately told ABC News that "there won't be anything approved unless the debt ceiling is done with," indicating any spending deal to prevent a shutdown must address the debt limit.

"If we don't get it, then we're going to have a shutdown, but it'll be a Biden shutdown, because shutdowns only [injure] the person who's president," he told ABC News.

"Congress must get rid of, or extend out to, perhaps, 2029, the ridiculous Debt Ceiling. Without this, we should never make a deal. Remember, the pressure is on whoever is president," he wrote on Truth Social. Link
Interesting how Trump is not even president yet, however, he and Elon Musk are the key drivers of what happens in the legislature.

The government funding stopgap passed the House on a 366-34-1 vote. All Democrats except one — Rep. Jasmine Crockett (Texas), who voted present — voted yes. On the Republican side, 170 voted yes and 34 opposed the measure.The plan does not include a measure to increase the debt ceiling. Link

So, despite Trump and Musk's bluster, it does not appear there will be a shutdown, even though the newly agreed-upon bill does not address the debt ceiling.

Here's how the AP characterized the "new" bill:

It's essentially the same deal that flopped the night before in a spectacular setback — opposed by most Democrats and some of the most conservative Republicans — minus Trump's debt ceiling demand.

As someone said, elect a clown, and you can expect a circus.
