With just days to go before the government runs out of money, the Senate has unveiled a bipartisan stopgap bill in a bid to avert a shutdown – but there’s no guarantee that it will be able to pass in the House.
The Senate stopgap bill, which would keep the government funded until November 17, includes $6.2 billion in Ukraine aid and $6 billion for natural disasters.
The release of the Senate bill, which was negotiated on a bipartisan basis, sets up a stark contrast – and a showdown – with the House, where the Republican majority faces deep divisions and the demands of hardline conservatives have been highly influential in driving the agenda as a shutdown looms.
Could he put it up for a vote before they manage to remove him and sacrifice himself to save the government for another 2 months? Or could they remove him outright and lock government up for a few weeks guaranteed until enough Republicans get pissed and vote a dem speaker into the chair?
Lol McCarthy doing anything that benefits others at a cost to him. He could have cross the aisle on multiple occasions to strip the lunatic fringiest part of his party of power at a much lower cost to himself. The man has all the spine of a jellyfish.
He isn’t going to sacrifice himself because he is a total piece of shit.
