SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for September 12, 2023 | SaltWireWASHINGTON - U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will confront a fractured caucus on Wednesday, with his role as the top Republican in Congress under threat from the far right, despite giving hardline conservatives the impeachment inquiry they wanted.
But even after the announcement, hardline Representative Matt Gaetz again raised the possibility of ousting McCarthy under the terms of a deal he agreed to become speaker, which gave any one member the power to call a vote for his removal. As Congress approaches a Sept. 1 deadline to avoid a government shutdown, House hardliners are now pressing McCarthy to avoid any short-term stopgap spending measure to keep federal agencies afloat that fails to include border security provisions and other conservative priorities.
Another hardliner, Representative Clay Higgins, said the focus should be on passing appropriations bills that cut spending to a fiscal 2022 level of $1.47 trillion, $120 billion less than he agreed to with Biden in May. Centrist Republicans oppose cuts that sharp.
