Democratic Centrists Propose Deal to Patrick McHenry

“Four top centrist Democrats on Friday sent a pitch to Acting Speaker Patrick McHenry: Let’s get the House working again,” Politico reports.

“Democrats told him they support giving him ‘temporary, expanded authorities’ that would allow the House to take up the most urgent bills — namely, government funding plans.”

“Specifically, the Democrats are proposing to let McHenry bring up any emergency aid for Ukraine or Israel, a short-term bill that extends government funding through Jan. 11, or general consideration of fiscal 2024 spending bills. Those powers should be limited to 15-day increments.”
