House GOP Still in Trouble

“Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s newest bid to pass a GOP-only short-term spending plan, which he outlined for his members on Wednesday night, already looks to be on life support,” Politico reports.

“It’s the latest sign of the herculean lift the Californian faces to get even a doomed party-line Republican bill through the House, where he can only afford to lose four votes with Democrats expected to unite against his latest effort.”

“So far, McCarthy has at least eight ‘no’ votes on his new proposal for even steeper spending cuts. Other Republicans suggest they will oppose a short-term funding bill more generally.”
