On the brink of a federal government shutdown Speaker Kevin McCarthy has announced a dramatic pivot.
The sudden House action would fund government at current 2023 levels for 45 days, through Nov. 17. It would move closer to the bipartisan approach underway in the Senate, which also would fund the government through that period, while adding $6 billion for Ukraine to fight the war against Russia and $6 billion for U.S. disaster relief.
Relying on Democratic votes and leaving his right-flank behind is something that the hard-right lawmakers have warned will risk McCarthy’s job as speaker. They are almost certain to quickly file a motion to try to remove McCarthy from that office, though it is not at all certain there would be enough votes to topple the speaker.
“Our options are slipping away every minute,” said one senior Republican, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida. “It heaps unnecessary hardships on the American people, as well as the brave men and women who keep us safe,” McConnell said.that poses grave uncertainty for federal workers in states all across America and the people who depend on them — from troops to border control agents to office workers, scientists and others.
