A large group of 21 House conservatives blocked the bill, a defeat for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and GOP leaders.
This GOP bill funds the government until October 31, 2023. It Includes border provisions from the GOP's border security bill , establishes a debt commission and imposes roughly 30 percent cuts from government programs besides the Departments of Homeland Security, Defense and Veteran Affairs.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, earlier Friday morning, played up the border security provisions being added to the stopgap measure to keep the government open until Oct. 31. The proposal also included keeping government spending to a lower level while maintaining Veterans Affairs and military spending, which would result in dramatic cuts to social spending programs and other areas across the government.
Gaetz, who has been leading the charge against McCarthy, in brief floor remarks Friday morning criticized the short-term measure as one that "weakens the Republican position on strong border policies."Even if the House measure were to pass, it is out of step with the Senate's bipartisan 45-day stopgap proposal, meaning that passage is no guarantee to keep the government from running out of money over the weekend.
