House Republicans are pressuring their colleagues to block radical Biden administration excesses and advance priorities like border security.
As House Republicans continue pressuring Speaker Kevin McCarthy and their colleagues to use Congress’s power of the purse to block radical Biden administration excesses and advance priorities like border security, the Senate has coalesced behind Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to advance government spending legislation.
While the Senate bill will be open to amendment, according to top Republican appropriator and moderate Susan Collins, conservatives lack the numbers in the Senate to enact any changes to the legislation. Traditionally, Congress passes 12 appropriations bills each fiscal year to fund different functions of the federal government. With increasing frequency, Congress has failed in this duty, often passing continuing resolutions to postpone its deadline.
