While the upper chamber has unified around preventing a government shutdown, Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been unable to rally his caucus around the issue.
However, some hardline conservatives oppose passing a CR and want deeper cuts to government agencies than what most House Republicans support, as evidenced by the defeat of the defense bill in the House last week.
In order to become Speaker of the House, McCarthy made a variety of concessions to his party's hard-right flank, including bringing back a procedural rule known as a"motion to vacate" that allows members to call a vote to oust the speaker. Conservative Republican Congressman Matt Gates has indicated he'd call such a motion if McCarthy joins with Democrats to pass a CR.
In addition to these considerations detailed by Warren, the nonpartisan Brookings Institution writes that the furloughing of government workers amid a federal shutdown can create processing disruptions that may affect small business loans, federal benefits, passport applications, and other services. For these reasons, most members of the Senate Republican Conference have been vocal in their opposition. During his Tuesday press conference, Senate GOP Leader
said he's"not a fan of government shutdowns" because they've never produced substantive policy change and have reflected poorly upon his party.
