McCarthy Floats ‘Clean’ Stopgap Without Ukraine Aid

“Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Friday evening floated passing a ‘clean’ continuing resolution without Ukraine aid, marking a clear shift in the possibilities he is willing to consider to avert — or end — a shutdown after being repeatedly undercut by his own party,” The Hill reports.

“The Speaker on Friday did not commit to putting such a measure on the floor, and other Republicans leaving a conference meeting said lawmakers are still exploring GOP-only possibilities to bring up for a vote on Saturday.”
