Conservatives Angry Over Short Term Spending Bill

Playbook: “Late last night, the Senate passed the short-term government funding bill by a unanimous voice vote just after 10 p.m… House Republicans have not decided whether to pass this bill today — they put off a decision last night. They have a party meeting at 10 a.m., but they had a rough night last night. The whip team surveyed House Republicans last night and found out that southern lawmakers were peeved the short-term spending bill included no disaster money. To be sure, the stopgap spending bill would likely still pass, being carried mostly by Democrats.”

“Conservative in the House Freedom Caucus are livid, and they took to the floor last night to rap Republicans for not building the wall as part of this spending bill. The topic took up the first 10 minutes of Fox News’ “Hannity” last night. Expect to see Freedom Caucus folks all day today on Fox News to try to tell the president he shouldn’t fold.”
