Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday turned to a new strategy in a long-shot bid to prevent the fourth government shutdown in a decade, as time runs short ahead of a Sept. 30 deadline,” Reuters reports.
“Instead, they will prepare four separate spending bills, most of which reflect the deep cuts sought by the party’s right flank. Those are certain to be rejected by the Democratic-controlled Senate, as they are far below spending levels outlined in a deal with Democratic President Joe Biden earlier this year.”
Either I’m misremebering things or everyone else is.
If i remember correctly, part of his deal to become Speaker was reducing the number of Reps required to force a vote for a new Speaker to one. Meaning any single member can force votes for a new Speaker. You know if he negotiates with Dems one of the crazies in his own party will force voting on a new Speaker.
Yep, that’s why I said he’d lose his job instantly. Alleged sex trafficker Matt Gaetz has explicitly threatened to submit the motion to vacate the Speakership if McCarthy works with Dems at all.
Gaetz is a paper tiger. Who else are they going to find to push around?
If he can negotiate an ounce of support from the Democrats, Gaetz/Greene’s threats become meaningless. They can call for his removal and then get immediately shot down
