White House Watches as House GOP Implodes

Politico: “President Joe Biden has steered well clear of the chaos engulfing the House, where Republicans are battling each other over a government funding bill. Within the White House, aides have settled on a hard-line strategy aimed at pressuring McCarthy to stick to a spending deal he struck with Biden back in May rather than attempt to patch together a new bipartisan bill.”

Said a White House official: “We agreed to the budget deal and a deal is a deal — House GOP should abide by it… Their chaos is making the case that they are responsible if there is a shutdown.”
