'What do you tell the American about the fact that we can't even move a defense bill to fund our troops?' Fox News anchor Shannon Bream asked Elise Stefanik.
"Well, we're in a very good place. I've been engaged in a conversation with members of Congress, as well as Speaker McCarthy over the weekend. We are working through this, and I am optimistic that we will continue to move the appropriations process forward, and that includes the DOD [Department of Defense] appropriations bill, but also includes the continuing resolution to ensure that we do not face a government shutdown," Stefanik said.
Stefanik also expressed agreement that House Republicans need to reign in inflation, a key priority for conservatives, but said McCarthy's support among House Republicans"remains strong," despite rebellion from the conference's right flank. She predicted the House speaker would survive a motion to vacate, but cast doubt that a motion will be filed.Other reports, however, have suggested relations remained strained between McCarthy and the Freedom Caucus.
