The House advanced four spending bills that have no chance of passing in the Senate, as Speaker Kevin McCarthy seeks to appease conservatives.
— House Republicans voted to advance four conservative spending bills on Tuesday in a long-sought display of unity that nonetheless doesn't move Congress any closer to preventingThe relatively routine vote to bring the bills to the House floor for debate gave Speaker Kevin McCarthy a win after days of Republican infighting between moderates and a contingent of hardline House conservatives over how to fund the government.
A contingent of hard-right Republicans in the House are opposed to a short-term funding extension and want deeper spending cuts. TheyMcCarthy's efforts to advance the defense spending bill last week, and have vowed to oppose what's known as a"continuing resolution," which would extend government funding at current levels as broader talks unfold.
House Republicans have been unable to rally around a short-term option. The conservative faction opposes any short-term funding extension and wants Congress to negotiate all 12 annual spending bills individually. The Senate bill would continue to fund the government at current levels through Nov. 17 and includes about $6 billion in aid for Ukraine as well as nearly $6 billion in disaster relief.
On Tuesday, McCarthy was noncommittal on bringing up a Senate-passed bill for a vote, but said he would put a short-term spending bill that includes funds for border security on the floor by Saturday, when current government funding expires.
