Senate Is Ready to Jam McCarthy

“There’s a warning siren blaring in Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s direction. And the message is that he’s in a prime position to get jammed by the Senate,” Punchbowl News reports.

“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is voicing support for the Biden administration’s $40 billion-plus supplemental spending package on Ukraine, border security and domestic disaster relief. Some House Republicans are going to want to split the issue up, especially disaster funding. Others have little or no interest in spending more money on the war in Ukraine.”

“Senate Democratic and GOP leaders are planning to join arms and pass as many as three bipartisan spending bills next week, as we reported Tuesday. Compare that to the House, where Republicans are finding new ways to struggle to pass even the most partisan pieces of legislation.”
