House Democratic leaders are challenging Speaker Kevin McCarthy to bring the Senate’s bipartisan continuing resolution to the floor for a vote, indicating the measure would pass with a majority of Republicans in favor.
The Senate advanced a stopgap spending bill on Tuesday evening that would temporarily fund the government until mid-November while providing additional aid to Ukraine and disaster relief without any border funding — prompting hard-line conservatives to predict it won’t go anywhere in the House. However, Democrats are singing a different tune, indicating there may be underlying support from centrist Republicans that could push the legislation past the finish line.
The comments come just days before federal funding is set to lapse with no spending plan finalized in either the House or the Senate, making it increasingly likely the government will shut down just after midnight on Sunday.McCarthy is pushing to vote on a GOP-led continuing resolution in the House on Friday that would set a top line for a continuing resolution at $1.471 trillion and included H.R.
As a result, some centrist Republicans have entered into talks with Democrats for a possible bipartisan deal — which could pose a challenge to McCarthy, whose speakership is being threatened by some on his right flank if he attempts to work with those on the other side of the aisle.
