The six announced a deal on Sunday to temporarily fund the government and avert a shutdown at the end of the month. But it’s far from certain the proposal would even unite their fractious party.
Half a dozen House Republicans announced a deal on Sunday to temporarily fund the government with the goal of averting a shutdown at the end of the month. But it’s far from certain that the proposal would unite their fractious conference to send a bill to the Senate, where it is expected to get rejected.
The effort is meant to garner support from hard-right lawmakers who demanded significant cuts to support a short-term funding extension. Striking an apparent deal is a significant, albeit small, step for the House Republican conference, whose leaders must now whip enough support for the measure to pass and fulfill Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s request to show a united conservative front ahead of inevitable negotiations with the Senate.
