House Republicans Engaged in 'Civil War' Over Shutdown Threat, Warns Hakeem Jeffries

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has described House Republicans as being in the midst of a "civil war" as both parties struggle to reach an agreement to avoid a government shutdown when funding expires at the end of the month. Jeffries criticized House Republicans for their impeachment inquiry into President Biden, stating that there is no evidence of impeachable offenses. Meanwhile, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces intraparty fighting as hard-right members threaten to force him out of the speakership if their demands for spending cuts and policy add-ons are not met. McCarthy remains optimistic about reaching an agreement to avert a government shutdown and plans to put a bill on the floor this week.
