Florida SenRickScott revolts against LeaderMcConnell over spending bill as Dec. 16 shutdown looms
In a letter addressed to McConnell on Wednesday, a group of Republican senators led by Scott vowed to reject a government spending bill until the party takes control of the lower chamber in January. Instead, the Republicans are seeking to pass another continuing resolution that would temporarily delay the budget deadline by keeping spending levels flat.
Right now, the government is funded through Dec. 16 thanks to a continuing resolution passed in September, after which the government will be forced to shut down if officials don’t reach an agreement on a budget for the next fiscal year. Lawmakers could alternatively pass another continuing resolution, giving Republicans more power over the budget once they take the House majority next year.
McConnell has indicated he would support an omnibus bill, citing “widespread agreement” that it would be a better option than passing another stopgap bill.
