When Congress return to Washington, D.C., after their August recess, members of the House and Senate will be 'all hands on deck' as they work through a list of priorities — including a potential government shutdown looming at September's end.
When the House and Senate reconvene after Labor Day, it’s going to be a mad dash to try to come to an agreement on a spending bill to avert a government shutdown before the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.
“We’re gonna pass a good Republican bill out of the House and force the Senate and the White House to accept it, or we’re not going to move forward,” Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs, a member of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, said this week. “What would happen if Republicans, for once, stared down the Democrats and were the ones who refuse to cave and to betray the American people and the trust they put in us when they have the majority? We don’t fear a government shutdown.
“I don’t want government to be shut down,” McCarthy said. “I want to find that we can find common ground. Leader Schumer had the same commitment that I had: let’s get this work done and get it done before Sept. 30.” House Democrats, for their part, have also accused Republicans of attempting to “hijack” the process by inserting social priorities into must-pass legislation.
