Impending Shutdown Looms as House Republicans Clash Over Funding
TL;DR Summary
House Republicans are attempting to pass two of their easier annual spending bills in order to score early wins in the fiscal battle over government funding. Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces challenges from a bloc of House Freedom Caucus members who want deeper spending cuts. While passage is uncertain, McCarthy may not need a grand accord with conservatives to win enough votes. The Senate's spending debate is more bipartisan, but reconciling the two chambers' spending visions before federal cash evaporates on September 30 will be difficult. A government shutdown looms if funding is not resolved.
