The Senate GOP predicts House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will go to the Democrats for votes to prevent a government shutdown next week.
They don’t think Mr. McCarthy can unify the entire GOP conference at this point.
The Speaker won’t be able to stop the funding of the entire far-left agenda and the weaponized government because they don’t have the Senate.
To do it, McCarthy would have to shut down the government for a long time. Democrats always seem to get the upper hand on that issue.
It appears that the Senate will go first and pass the CR resolution. It will have to pass with 60 votes, and then it will go back to the house. The only way McCarthy can pass it in the House is with Democrat votes.
Most Republicans in the Senate have no interest in cutting 8% of discretionary spending. It would require 60 votes in the Senate and there’s no way they can get that.
Get rid of this GOPe asswipe.
I guess we can say, Politics As Usual. Everyone knew about McCarthy when Ryan was eventually chosen. But, evidently, members of the House have forgotten the past when installing him as Speaker.
I do not know who this senate GOP is, it will include the 17 RINOs in Mitch’s corrupt caucus.
Kevin broke every major promise he made. One of them is to have a real budget and place major spending items into separate bills. He is a liar and a cheater. Remove him, the chaos of no speaker is far better for our country than the chaos going on now.
There is no real shutdown of government, just a small fraction of it. The feds are pulling in record revenue, they have plenty of money to keep nearly all the government open. The shutdown is a farce.
