With just six days until federal funding is set to lapse, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is expressing cautious optimism that he can wrangle enough members of his party to begin advancing appropriations bills and a temporary stopgap measure to avert a government shutdown this weekend.

“We've had these posted since July, but we had some members … that would shut the floor down and we couldn’t do anything,” McCarthy said. “Apparently they're willing to work now.” After that, McCarthy said he hopes to bring some sort of continuing resolution or temporary spending measure to the floor sometime this week ahead of the shutdown deadline — a move several hard-line conservatives have vowed to oppose. McCarthy criticized those members Monday morning, noting objections to keeping the government open would only result in critical agencies losing funding.
It’s not yet clear whether there is substantial support among House Republicans to advance appropriations bills this week, especially after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she was a “hard no” against the rules vote scheduled for Tuesday. McCarthy can only afford to lose four GOP votes, giving him little room for error.
