Speaker Kevin McCarthy boasts that House Republicans are “in a good place” on major spending bills. But serious questions remain about the strategy at play.
While Speaker Kevin McCarthy was able to leverage GOP unity to extract concessions from Democrats in the debt ceiling negotiations, when it comes to government shutdowns, the side making the policy demands rarely notches any victories.
The truth is, we’re just at the start of what’s going to be a very long, ugly, drawn-out war — a fact that longtime appropriator Rep. Steve Womack hinted at when he left the meeting last night. Meanwhile, centrist Republicans like Rep. Tony Gonzales blasted the GOP conference for living in La La Land. As, the Texas Republican is a no on the CR because “none of these ideas have any chance of being taken up in the Senate and signed into law.”
So what are the new terms of this deal McCarthy ironed out in real time in front of his members to unstick the spending snag? Once again, moderates who didn’t want to gut spending further got rolled.
