Punchbowl News: “The question now is what does McCarthy do next. The House Republican Conference will meet today at 4 p.m., less than 36 hours before the government will run out of money.”
“McCarthy is really on an island here, as we’ve stated a few times over the last few days. House Republicans have plunged the nation into a government shutdown. And he has to figure a way to get out of it.”
Said McCarthy: “It’s not the end yet. I have other ideas.”
McCarthy just forced vulnerable Republicans to vote for very unpopular cuts, only for it to fail miserably. Democrats must be watching with glee.
