House Fails to Pass Stopgap Spending Measure

“House Republicans failed to pass a stopgap government funding bill on Friday, leaving Kevin McCarthy with no clear next step to try to avert a shutdown in less than 36 hours,” Politico reports.

“It’s an enormous blow to the speaker, who by bringing the vote to the floor essentially dared his hardliners to oppose the patch. He argued that voting against it essentially meant opposing border security.”

Washington Post: “It is unclear what House lawmakers will do next.”
