"Speaker McCarthy's Attempts to Satisfy Hard-Right Republicans Fall Short"

Speaker Kevin McCarthy, facing a government shutdown, has resorted to giving hard-right Republicans what they want in order to maintain his tenuous hold on House leadership. However, this strategy has left him frustrated and uncertain of his power. McCarthy has made concessions to the far-right lawmakers, including agreeing to their demand for an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden and meeting their calls for spending cuts. Despite his efforts, these concessions never seem to be enough, as some members continue to hold out for more. With the deadline to fund the government approaching, McCarthy is facing a more virulent strain of hard-right tactics that have plagued previous Republican speakers.
