Speaker Kevin McCarthy insists Congress will avoid a government shutdown in the fall. But some members of his right flank seem to be embracing that outcome.
mused last week that if the government shuttered briefly this fall, “most Americans won’t even miss” it.
Several other Freedom Caucus members, when asked about Good’s remarks, also wouldn’t rule out leveraging an October shutdown for steep cuts they’ve demanded in the 11 spending bills that still need to pass the House. when asked if the option was on the table., a Freedom Caucus member who landed a seat on the House spending panel this year, offered a similar response.
Senior Republicans, however, have chafed at the notion of hacking away at the measures they painstakingly crafted over the last several months. But passing a stopgap with Democratic support will only further enrage McCarthy’s right flank, creating an even bigger headache for him as the House and Senate try to compromise on a slate of spending bills that would fund federal agencies at updated levels for the coming fiscal year., for example, said he is a “violent no” on any stopgap that funds the Department of Homeland Security without enacting a GOP plan to overhaul border and immigration laws.
House Republicans are on a major collision course with the upper chamber, where Senate Appropriations Chair have approved a dozen largely bipartisan spending bills in committee for the first time in five years. Contrary to the demands of House conservatives, those measures actually go above the spending levels set in the bipartisan debt deal, including $14 billion in emergency cash to bolster the Pentagon’s budget, among other agencies..
