"House GOP's Struggle for a Government Shutdown Deal and McCarthy's Ineffectiveness"
House Republicans are working on a plan to move long-term spending bills through the chamber next week, despite facing opposition from hard-right lawmakers. Speaker Kevin McCarthy is determined to find a solution to fund the government without relying on Democratic support. The proposal is to consider and amend bills that would fund four government departments for the entire fiscal year of 2024. However, it remains uncertain if Republicans have enough support to overcome a procedural vote. Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer has suggested that the Senate may have to move their short-term funding solution before the House next week. Negotiations are ongoing, and the Senate is expected to vote on a continuing resolution on Tuesday.
