Punchbowl News: “Moderate Republicans who belong to the Problem Solvers Caucus are already talking about endorsing a compromise proposal to end any shutdown by signing onto a Democratic discharge petition. Six Republicans are needed to hand control of the floor to Democrats, who can then pass a funding bill.”
“Of course, McCarthy doesn’t want this to happen, but he probably wouldn’t mind keeping his hands clean here. It’s too late to avoid a shutdown, but a bill to reopen government agencies can be enacted this way.”
