McCarthy will face being ousted this week by his caucus in the debt ceiling dust up. (Politico)

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.
