The government shutdown showdown in December 2024 served as a pivotal moment for President-Elect Donald Trump as he sought to solidify his authority within the Republican ranks in Congress.
However, this high-stakes scenario unveiled the intricate dynamics at play as he navigated the complexities of governance in anticipation of his return to the White House.
