Republicans Promise World War III-Level Spending Fight

“House conservatives who have mostly backed Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) are privately warning that they’re paranoid of budgetary gimmicks instead of significant cuts in the coming appropriations bills,” Axios reports.

“One GOP lawmaker told Axios they expect the spending fight to be ‘World War III,’ with multiple GOP sources doubtful that Congress will pass all 12 appropriations bills by Sept. 30 to avoid a government shutdown.”
