McCarthy’s Speakership Tenuous After He Breaks With Conservatives On Budget

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy criticized Republicans on Saturday who opposed his efforts to avoid a government shutdown, saying he doesn’t “want to be part of that team.”
The House of Representatives voted 335-91 to pass a short-term spending bill Saturday to fund the government for 45-days, providing disaster relief requested by the White House, but no aid for Ukraine. Ninety Republicans voted against the bill, along with one Democrat.
“Instead of siding with his own party today, Kevin McCarthy sided with 209 Democrats to push through a continuing resolution that maintains the Biden-Pelosi-Schumer spending levels and policies,” Republican Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs tweeted. “He allowed the DC Uniparty to win again. Should he remain Speaker of the House?”
