Senate Democrats say they’re growing concerned that House Republicans won’t be willing to avert a government shutdown as the lower chamber continues to pass partisan spending bills.
As part of his larger effort to keep the right flank of his conference from ousting him as speaker, McCarthy permitted the House Appropriations Committee to write their spending bills with caps set below the agreed-upon numbers. The effort failed, and McCarthy’s early October ouster left the House paralyzed for three weeks as the GOP conference rallied around a leader.
"I'm concerned about everything in the House of Representatives, not just the budget,” Sen. Chris Murphy said. “Right now, it doesn't feel like the House is serious about working with Democrats.” The bipartisan approach to the appropriations process has wide-ranging support in the Senate Republican Conference, including from leadership, though this is not surprising. It is unlikely that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell would encourage Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democrats, with their 51-49 majority, to write up appropriations bills without GOP input.
