U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is facing the biggest challenge of his eight months as the top Republican in the U.S. Congress, as he tries to muster his fractured caucus to avoid a government shutdown in less than two weeks without losing his speakership.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives and the Democratic-led Senate have until Sept. 30 to avoid the U.S.' fourth partial government shutdown in a decade by passing spending legislation that President Joe Biden can sign into law to keep federal agencies afloat.have split Republicans in the House and slowed the Senate's path forward on approving bipartisan spending legislation.
He said weekend negotiations with hardliners had made progress, but added: "We'll bring it to the floor, win or lose, and show the American public who's for the Department of Defense, who's for our military." It would impose a spending cut of more than 8% on agencies other than the Defense Department and Department of Veterans Affairs and it includes immigration and border security restrictions that Democrats reject.
Moderate Republicans predict that Congress will ultimately adhere to the spending level set by the Biden-McCarthy agreement.
