As a result, Gaetz said he would be filing a"motion to vacate the chair," as House rules permit. McCarthy’s response, “So be it. Bring it on. Let’s get over with it and let’s start governing." Many GOP lawmakers complained the House waited too long to take up annual spending bills, squandering an opportunity to force the Senate to negotiate on spending and policy priorities.
McCarthy also has pushed spending levels for next year that are far below the caps he agreed to with Biden on a deal to extend the nation's debt ceiling so that the government could pay its bills.On Friday, he brought a short-term plan to fund the government that would enact steep spending cuts of nearly 30 percent for many agencies and strict border security provisions.
