McCarthy-backed bill to avoid government shutdown gets bipartisan rejection

The House on Friday rejected a stopgap bill to fund the government, with a group of hard-right Republicans handing Speaker Kevin McCarthy yet another defeat in his efforts to avoid a shutdown. The 165-page bill, known as a continuing resolution, failed by a vote of 198 to 232. Twenty-one Republicans joined all Democrats in voting against the legislation. CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane has more.

  1. I live in California and McCarthy cares only about himself and the oil fields industry in his backyard. I am beginning to think the farmers are distant second? He hasn't solved our problems so I don't know how he is going to solve everyone else's? He has become inconsistent. Sure does act like a puppet? He seems lost? They were once considered gentlemen, but those days are long gone.

  2. MAGA Republicans have surrendered," House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., wrote on social media. "All extreme right-wing policies have been removed from the House spending bill. The American people have won."McCarthy's reversal

    The sudden rush of action came after House Republicans huddled in the basement of the Capitol to discuss strategy.
    Some McCarthy allies, like Rep. Dusty Johnson. R-S.D., argued a temporary fix to funding the government was needed so House Republicans can continue to push for conservative spending policy without the threat of a shutdown. Leaders stressed that with continued resistance from a group of conservative GOP members there was no way to move a bill with just Republicans. McCarthy holds a narrow majority and can't lose any more than 4 votes.
    Johnson pointed to the 21 members who blocked a GOP bill on Friday as the reason why the speaker moved to this new plan. Those members "put us in a position to unfortunately pass something a little less conservative. Now the good news is this is still a pathway to get the kind of conservative wins we need through the appropriations process."
    House GOP Republican leaders cancelled the planned district recess for the beginning of October and said the House will continue to move their own spending bills — they passed 4 of the 12 that fund federal agencies.
    Conservatives pushed back against the stopgap bill Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., told reporters he would vote no against a continuing resolution "There's no such thing as a clean CR." He argued if one passed he didn't believe the House would continue taking up the rest of the annual spending bills.
    The measure would keep the government funded at current spending levels for 45 days and it includes $16 billion in disaster relief — matching the figure the White House included in a supplemental request. It does not include Ukraine aid or border policy changesOne Democrat and 90 Republicans voted against the measure. The plan marked a stark shift in his posture when it comes to government funding.44MAGA Republicans have surrendered," House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., wrote on social media.

  3. The money spent on Ukraine can pay the salary of military troops for 10 years………now the military is going to stop getting their paychecks.

  4. Repeat a lie one thousand times and will become a truth, Joseph Goebbels. Sorry to say it. But the American Communist DemocRATic Party Government has been shut down 16070.6565 hours ago. Since they came to power in 2020. after stealing the American elections, stealing from the American people and gifting our money to the corrupt Ukraine and the illegal aliens. Those who cast the votes don't count. Those who count the votes do. Joseph Stalin.

  5. My concerns with the government shut down viewing everything overall was
    Primarily thee effect it could have on us all particularly with the military.
    I don't feel it's fair for people who
    Devote their entire lives in serving
    Our country by putting their lives on the line for us as a whole.
    Our heros having to wait just to get paid.

  6. Kevin McCarthy has an opportunity to gracefully exit the crazy! Strike an agreement with the Democrats and Republicans to pass the bill!

  7. if we dont get rid of the republicans in CONgress they might vote to start WW2 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  8. So let’s get this right with a shutdown U.S workers won’t get paid but you can be assured that Biden will get Ukraine their war checks, because in his words we will win this war st all cost.

  9. It doesn’t matter if they shut down, the ssi checks will continue to be mail or direct deposited. About Ukraine we have helped them enough, also close the border, and gather all illegals up and deport. Close all borders for couple years
