WASHINGTON, Sept 11 — The US House of Representatives returns this week for an expected political brawl over spending cuts and impeachment that could paralyse the Republican-controlled chamber, as Congress struggles to avoid a government shutdown.
The White House and Senate leaders — including top Republican Mitch McConnell — have rejected that demand. McCarthy’s eight-month-old speakership could be threatened if he seeks Democratic support to avoid a shutdown or fails to move forward with an impeachment inquiry that former President Donald Trump’s House allies are seeking despite a lack of votes.
“Without these spending cuts, we’re a ‘no’ vote. I say ‘we’ — me and a good many others,” Representative Ralph Norman, a Freedom Caucus member, said in an interview. “I’d rather shut the government down.” That could mean trouble for McCarthy’s hopes of restarting action on spending legislation this week with an US$886 billion defence appropriations bill.
House hardliners vehemently reject a proposal to lump border security and Ukraine aid in a separate measure.
