House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., criticized a Senate bill on Thursday, expressing concern about the lack of focus on border security. He emphasized that the proposed legislation fails to address the current state of emergency declared by the governor of Massachusetts and the increased spending on migrant shelters in New York City. McCarthy further highlighted the bipartisan agreement in support of effective border security measures.
In light of the looming deadline this weekend, McCarthy’s comments were made during efforts to agree on a government funding plan. The potential consequences of a government shutdown, including its impact on the U.S. economy and capital markets, underscore the urgency for a resolution.
As negotiations persist, McCarthy acknowledged the challenges he faces within his own party. He revealed that certain House members have impeded progress since the summer by preventing the advancement of appropriation bills. Additionally, he highlighted the resistance of some members to vote for a stopgap measure to fund the government temporarily.
