Politico: “Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) is now openly calling to increase McHenry’s powers, at least to avoid a government shutdown.”
“He argued his party doesn’t need ‘much leverage’ in return for greenlighting McHenry… Other Democrats have indicated they support the idea, though they’re still pushing for a deal with Republicans in exchange for votes. Exact support is difficult to gauge, since they don’t have a concrete proposal yet.”
