GOP Leader McCarthy's Reversals on Ukraine Aid and Marjorie Taylor Greene Cause Humiliation and Scramble for Funding Bills

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has reversed his plan to remove Ukraine aid from a military spending bill as Republicans scramble to find a way forward on funding the government. McCarthy initially faced pushback from GOP members on including the aid, but now argues that it would be too complicated to remove due to the Republicans' funding strategy. The decision adds uncertainty to whether the Pentagon spending bill will be debated at all, as Republicans prepare to vote on four government funding bills. The outcome remains unclear, and even if the bills are passed, a government shutdown scheduled for October 1 may still occur.
