The bill’s complete failure a day before Saturday’s deadline to fund the government leaves few options left to prevent a shutdown.
McCarthy’s right-flank Republicans refused to support the bill despite its steep spending cuts of nearly 30% to many agencies and severe border security provisions, calling it insufficient.
A clearly agitated McCarthy left the House chamber. “It’s not the end yet; I’ve got other ideas,” McCarthy told reporters.The outcome puts McCarthy’s speakership in serious jeopardy with almost no political leverage to lead the House at a critical moment that has pushed the government into crisis. Even this plan, an extraordinary concession to immediately slash spending for many agencies by one-third, was not enough to satisfy the hard right flank that has upturned his speakership.
Jean-Pierre said, “The path forward to fund the government has been laid out by the Senate with bipartisan support — House Republicans just need to take it.” Ahead of voting, the Republican speaker all but dared his hold-out colleagues to oppose the package a day before“Every member will have to go on record where they stand,” McCarthy said.But as soon as the floor debate began, McCarthy’s chief Republican critic, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, announced he would be voting against the package, urging his colleagues to “not surrender.”

McCarthy's last-ditch plan to keep the government open collapses, making a shutdown almost certainHouse Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s last-ditch plan to keep the government temporarily open has collapsed. But Friday’s vote a day before the deadline makes a government shutdown almost certain. The White House and Democrats have called the Republican package with its steep spending cuts of up to 30% too extreme. The bill also included severe border security provisions demanded by the hard-right flank. The bill would have kept government operations open through Oct. 31. The Senate is working on its own bipartisan plan that is widely supported by both parties to continue funding at current levels. The Senate plan is headed for votes this weekend.
