Punchbowl News: “House Republicans filled up their 2024 spending bills with red-meat policy provisions on issues ranging from abortion to guns to DEI programs to strict limits on government spending. But the House Republican leadership knew all along that Democrats, who control the Senate and the White House, would nix these riders in any end-year negotiations. House GOP leaders were only able to pass seven of the 12 bills in their chamber.”
“And now, the dog has caught the car, so to speak.”
“Democrats complain that House Republicans have yet to come to grips with the reality that many of their policy preferences are going to be tossed aside. Not only will the Senate and President Joe Biden reject them, but with House Democrats likely providing the bulk of the votes to pass the spending bills, there’s no way for Republicans to win this showdown.”
