House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, didn’t give any indications during a news conference Friday that he would make a deal with the Democratic-run Senate to avoid a partial government shutdown that appears on track to start after midnight Saturday. “What I want to do is stand for America,” McCarthy said, rather than “surrender to the liberals.
” Analysts have been using the word “inevitable” to describe the looming shutdown. “With a government shutdown midnight Saturday all but inevitable, the Republican-controlled House and Democrat-controlled Senate are working to pass differing version of short-term government spending bills that the other body says have no chance of passing or becoming law,” said Benjamin Salisbury of Height Capital Markets in a note Friday.
