Rep. Ken Buck described the"perfect storm" awaiting House Speaker Kevin McCarthy this month when the House of Representatives reconvenes after its August recess.

He detailed that these members are requesting riders attached to appropriations bills with amendments that address certain issues, such as securing the southern border. "You take those three things put together," said Buck,"and Kevin McCarthy — the speaker has made promises on each of those issues to different groups — and now, it is all coming due at the same time."
