WASHINGTON—Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said on Wednesday night the massive stopgap funding bill put forward by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) was scrapped after President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance came out in opposition to the bill.

“There is no new agreement right now,” Scalise told reporters, and lawmakers are “looking at a number of options.”
