House Returns with Looming Threats of Impeachment, Shutdown, and Spending Battles
Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces the challenge of avoiding a government shutdown and addressing calls from hardliners in the House GOP to impeach President Joe Biden. Congress is already facing a chaotic work period with looming deadlines for funding the government, reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration, and providing disaster relief and aid for Ukraine. McCarthy's leadership will be tested as he navigates these challenges, including demands from his right flank and an increasingly agitated Donald Trump. The House Republicans will discuss these issues in a closed-door meeting, and McCarthy is considering a short-term funding bill while leaving the Ukraine aid for a separate fight. The question of whether and when House Republicans will move forward with a Biden impeachment also hangs over the proceedings.
