House GOP Moves to Pass Spending Bills

Politico: “If Republicans can pass either of those two bills before leaving Washington for their August recess, they will have scored the first wins of the season on spending. Such a moment would echo their springtime passage of a conservative-leaning debt limit bill that helped force President Joe Biden to the negotiating table.”

“But passage is far from certain for Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who will need the full support of deeply fractured members as he continues to snub bipartisan funding negotiations.”

“Looming just a few months away, on Sept. 30, is a potential government shutdown.”
