The House rejected a new Republican proposal to avert a shutdown, a day after President-elect Donald J. Trump torpedoed a spending deal that House Speaker Mike Johnson had struck with Democrats. The new, Trump-endorsed plan would have tied an extension of government funding to a two-year suspension of the federal debt limit.
