House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s last-ditch bid to keep the federal government temporarily open was blocked by fellow Republicans.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s last-ditch plan to keep the federal government temporarily open has collapsed as hard-right holdouts rejected the package, making a shutdown almost certain.
Ahead of voting, the Republican speaker all but dared his hold-out colleagues to oppose the package a day before Saturday’s almost certain shutdown. The House Bill would have kept operations open through to October 31.Asked if he had the votes, Mr McCarthy quipped, “We’ll see.” While the Senate is pushing ahead on Friday with its own widely bipartisan plan favoured by Republicans and Democrats to keep the government open and to bolster Ukraine aid, the House has been in political chaos as the hard-right flank seized control.
