House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) publicly called out his Republican counterpart Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Monday for mulling a budget deal with Democrats.
Harping on the looming Republican takeover of the House, McCarthy underscored that Republicans will have far more leverage in about a month than they do now and fretted a long-term deal could effectively lock the GOP out of enacting major budgeting reforms for some 10 months."We’re 28 days from Republicans having the gavel, we would be stronger in any negotiation. Any Republican trying to work with them is wrong," McCarthy told Fox News's Laura Ingraham.
McCarthy emphasized that when the GOP gets the House, it will have leverage to scrap extraneous expenditures from the budget and apply pressure to the Biden administration in key areas.
