Marion, Iowa — Republican Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson is praising President-elect Trump’s pressure campaign that has derailed a bipartisan deal to keep the federal government operating.
Elon Musk took to his social media platform to criticize the now-abandoned spending and policy package early Wednesday and a few hours later President-elect Trump called on Republicans to start over, with a clean spending plan that includes raising the limit on the federal government’s allowed to borrow.
An extension of the Farm Bill, more disaster assistance and allowing E-15 be sold year-round were including in the now-abandoned package. Hinson says she’s hoping all those elements are included in whatever alternative emerges.
Hinson made her comments during a conference call with Iowa reporters Thursday morning.
