The omnibus spending bill, which would fund the government through Sept. 2023, was negotiated by both Republicans and Democrats. One of Congress’ key responsibilities, regardless of which party controls the chamber, is to pass an annual budget.
Another key McCarthy ally, conservative firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, called on Republican senators to oppose the bill. In a, she accused Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., of “giving the Democrats everything they want” by negotiating the bill.
“It's not everything we would have wanted, of course,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., admitted. “When you're dealing in a bipartisan, bicameral way, you have to sit down and get it done and that means each side has to concede some things.” Alabama Republican Sen. Richard Shelby, one of the key lawmakers who negotiated on the bill, dismissed McCarthy's rhetoric.told reporters on Tuesday
The bill contains $45 billion in aid to Ukraine, as well as a bipartisan overhaul of the Electoral Count Act, a direct response to former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and object to the certification of Joe Biden’s win on Jan. 6, 2021.
