Speaker Kevin McCarthy told GOP lawmakers at a closed-door meeting that he'd be open to working with Senate Democrats on a continuing resolution, provided it included border security elements.
FOX News’ Jennifer Griffin reports on how the potential government shutdown would impact the Department of Defense as well as U.S. foreign policy interests.
Congressional leaders on both sides have acknowledged that a stopgap funding bill, known as a continuing resolution , is likely needed to give lawmakers more time to cobble together 12 individual appropriations bills to fund the government in the new fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1. McCarthy"laid out the same strategy as debt ceiling," one source said, in that he"wants us to pass something before they pass something."
The second source said McCarthy warned that failure to pass a House GOP CR would diminish their leverage in discussions.
