House Republicans are accusing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of giving up leverage to dictate policy terms to President Biden by supporting the government funding bill.
Fox News congressional correspondent Chad Pergram has the latest on a looming government shutdown deadline and Senate Democrats removing an energy provision from legislation designed to keep the government open on 'Special Report.
Given the Senate’s 50-50 split between Republicans and Democrats, McConnell’s backing is decisive in averting a government shutdown.is actively whipping against the legislation that he says is a missed opportunity for Republicans, and has even given lawmakers an extensive memo detailing why the government funding bill should be opposed.
House Republicans also say that by funding the government through December 16, the legislation gives Democrats extra time to write a year-long spending plan while they are still in control of Congress. GOP lawmakers worry they could be robbed of an opportunity to put their imprint on the federal budget if such a deal is struck in the lame duck session.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy wants the stop-gap bill to run out after the new Congress takes office next January. First, President Biden dropped his request for the legislation to include $22 billion in additional coronavirus relief funding. Then, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, of West Virginia, dropped his push to include an overhaul of oil and natural gas drilling that Republican leaders opposed.
