Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told reporters Saturday afternoon the House would vote on a stopgap bill that keeps the government open through Nov. 17. The bill would give lawmakers 45 more days work out full-year FY 2024 funding. It would also include funding for disaster relief, but not Ukraine aid. After failing to get House Republicans to rally behind a GOP funding measure that cuts spendings and includes border security measures, the speaker pivoted to a “clean” CR that keep funding levels the same. The surprise move risks upsetting Republican hardliners, who have threatened to oust the speaker if he takes a bipartisan route. “If someone wants to remove because I want to be the adult in the room, go ahead and try,” Speaker McCarthy told reporters. “If I have to risk my job for standing up for the American public, I will do that.” Watch more by tapping the link in our bio. #houseofrepresentatives #speakerofthehouse #kevinmccarthy
