Dems To Rescue McCarthy?
“The fate of Kevin McCarthy’s speakership now rests in House Democrats’ hands.
After relying on Democrats to keep the government funded Saturday, the GOP leader is expected to need them to bail him out again, as Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) vows to trigger a conservative-led effort to oust him this week.
”
Kevin McCarthy could be ousted this week or he could be saved by Democrats as the drama surrounding the government shutdown continues to play out. Most media outlets are now treating the shutdown threat to be over but the agreement only funded the government for 45 days so this could happen all over again just before the Holiday roll around. Government funding will be a political issue for the foreseeable future with the constant threat of a functionless governing body always looming and no political impetus to change that.
