More than two dozen members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus are demanding answers from Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on his plan for passing appropriations bills, saying they won't back a short-term continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown unless individual appropriations are passed first.
The Freedom Caucus posted on its X account a letter it sent Thursday to McCarthy signed by 27 members. The letter posed six questions to McCarthy, including whether the House will remain in session working "until all 12 individual regular appropriations bills are passed" and whether McCarthy will "publicly refute and reject the Schumer-McConnell continuing resolution" in the Senate that extends government funding to Nov. 17 and includes $6.15 billion for Ukraine and $5.
In a post on X, Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., chair of the Freedom Caucus and lead signee of the letter, wrote: "Mr. Speaker, leaders lead from the FRONT. We need your plan."
