said Wednesday that the House will vote on a defense spending measure that failed earlier this week, and promised that he has flipped two of Republican holdouts after a closed-door meeting.said House Republicans had made “tremendous progress” toward advancing spending measures. So far, the lower chamber has only advanced one of a dozen spending bills needed to fund the government in fiscal 2024, which begins Oct. 1.
Holdout conservatives from the House Freedom Caucus have pushed Mr. McCarthy to drop spending to the $1.471 trillion mark to earn their support for the dozen federal spending measures needed to fund the government. “I think the case has already been made that a [stopgap spending measure], that is just a horrible outcome for us,” Mr. Womack said. “It’s a horrible outcome for America, it’s a bad deal.”’s pitch comes as the House has struggled to advance spending measures, faltering earlier this week on a layup procedural vote for the defense appropriations bill. Because there are mere days before the deadline to fund the government, a stopgap spending measure is all but a forgone conclusion.
