President Joe Biden and his Oval Office predecessor, Donald Trump, are about to wage the most direct showdown yet of their possible rematch as far-right House Republicans drive the nation to the brink of a government shutdown.
Intense activity from Washington to swing-state Michigan during this pivotal week will recall how extremism rocked political institutions during the ex-president’s turbulent term and will test Biden’s capacity to again exploit the chaos to empower his reelection bid.b The government could run out of money at midnight Saturday as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy struggles to control a burn-it-down faction in his majority.
Even though much of the government will grind to a halt at midnight on Saturday unless Congress passes legislation to fund it, McCarthy sent his members home until Tuesday after a week of legislative mayhem exposed the weakness of his speakership as never before. The California Republican has been trying to pass a temporary funding bill known as a continuing resolution to keep the government open to allow time for a more permanent funding fix.
