“We got rolled on the debt ceiling. We’re not getting rolled again now,” Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) proclaimed during a press conference.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is under intense pressure from his right flank to extract more concessions from Democrats during the government shutdown battle.“We’re not interested in a continuing resolution that continues the policies and the spending of the Biden-Schumer-Pelosi era. We’re not going to vote for it,” Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry vowed.
Congress is lagging on settling over 12 appropriations bills needed to keep the government open, which is why many members favor a continuing resolution or stopgap measure. But the Freedom Caucus wants to use the need for a stopgap or continuing resolution to extract additional concessions. The Freedom Caucus held a press conference Tuesday outlining its steadfast opposition to any stopgap measures.Members of the caucus ticked off an array of wish-list items such as additional spending cuts, enhanced border security measures and scrapping the Pentagon’s controversial policy of funding travel for abortion.Including Tuesday, the House has 11 legislative days on its calendar for the month. The next fiscal year begins on Oct. 1. Without any action, the government will shut down.
