The House Freedom Caucus and conservative groups held a press conference Tuesday opposing any deal to continue government funding at current levels.
a press conference Tuesday opposing any deal to continue government spending at current levels, hours before the House reconvened after a week-long recess to tackle the task of keeping the government open past September 30.
“No one is here interested in a pause in government funding,” said Rep. Scott Perry , Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. “What we’re interested in is taking the Biden boot off the neck of the American people.” Yet with the end of the fiscal year approaching and Congress failing to pass any of the 12 appropriations bills for the next fiscal year thus far, failure to strike a deal would result in a partial government shutdown.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy , who has navigated challenging dynamics since ascending to the speakership in January after 15 ballots, has made some concessions to conservatives, bucking the White House and Senate in favor of a funding extension without additional aid to the Ukrainians’ war effort against Russia.
