Maga Led Budget Standstill.
“House Republicans abandoned plans to take up a stopgap funding measure this week after members of the fractious GOP conference warned there would not be enough votes to pass a continuing resolution to avert a partial government shutdown next month.
Party leaders informed members that no more votes would be taken Thursday and the House would recess subject to the call of the chair. Lawmakers were advised to keep their plans flexible, and that “ample notice” would be provided for any votes they planned to schedule on Friday or over the weekend.
Members weren’t being officially sent home for the weekend because House leaders lacked the votes to adopt a motion to adjourn, sources familiar with the situation said.”
The House of Representatives is always a little messier than the senate just be the fact its 5x the size of its sister body. Speaker Pelosi was extraordinarily adept at corralling her party to pass legislation even when deep divisions were present and posed existential threats to various pieces of legislation. Kevin McCarthy appears far less effective in this department and is in a weakening position as time goes on and no agreements are reached under his watch.
