Congress has less than two full weeks to agree to some form of legislation that will fund the government past its Sept. 30 deadline, but as hard-line House GOP members buck a recently announced continuing resolution brokered between the House Freedom Caucus and the Republican Main Street Caucus, it appears that the nation is barreling perilously close to a government shutdown.
But as the nation creeps closer to Sept. 30, House Republicans are already blaming Democrats for any potential shutdown."If you're running $2 trillion deficit, Fitch Ratings just downgraded our debt, there have to be some substantive changes," Rep. Byron Donalds said during the Pray Vote Stand Summit on Friday."The Senate's position is clean continuing resolution and funding the government even more than what we funded it last year.
"In past shutdowns, Republicans have often been blamed. They generally have lost negotiating position," said Ed Mills, an analyst at Raymond James, an international financial services company."Part of what we have observed about Speaker McCarthy's leadership has been a desire to show that if Republicans have a majority in the House, the government is able to function.
A group of 98 members of the New Democrat Coalition urged McCarthy in a letter Monday to advance a bipartisan appropriations bill similar to an effort in the Senate."We urge you to reject the hyperpartisan approach and focus on passing government funding legislation that can actually become law," the group wrote.
"That's the other weakness of the Republican side," Oppenheimer continued."There was a budget agreement that was stipulated. And now the question is, are you going to stick to that agreement or not?"
