Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, and other House conservatives criticized House Speaker Johnson’s proposed continuing resolution (CR) to avoid a government shutdown, saying on Monday that it simply continues current federal spending and does nothing to reduce it.
“No one campaigned on the status quo,” Davidson told reporters. “No one campaigned on sustaining the spending levels or policies that have been implemented by Biden, Schumer and Pelosi and that’s what this does until January and February but it really does worse.”
Davidson said the legislation spends more than President Biden and former House Speaker McCarthy’s debt ceiling deal known as the Fiscal Responsibility Act.
