House Republicans push Speaker Kevin McCarthy to reject deal made with President Biden.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy talks to reporters after voting to advance appropriations bills on the House floor While the Senate is pushing through a bipartisan package to temporarily fund the government, members of the House are working on an alternative which has little chance of completion ahead of Saturday’s deadline.
President Joe Biden, who earlier this year reached a budget deal with Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy that became law, believes it is up to the House Republicans to deliver.“A deal is a deal,” said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. “This is for them to fix.” He is reviving plans for the House Republicans’ stopgap funding measure which would slash federal spending by 8% for many agencies and attach a hardline border security measure demanded by conservatives.The White House has downplayed the prospect of talks and Mr McCarthy is expected to spend much of this week trying to pass some of the bills needed to fund government agencies — Defence, Homeland Security, Agriculture and State and Foreign Operations.
The hard-right House Republicans are being egged on by former president Donald Trump, the front-runner in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, who has urged them to stand firm in the fight or “shut it down”.
