WASHINGTON – Hard-line Republicans in the US House of Representatives on Friday rejected a bill proposed by their leader to temporarily fund the government, making it all but certain that federal agencies will partially shut down beginning on Sunday.
After the vote, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said the chamber might still pass a funding extension without the conservative policies that had alienated Democrats. But he declined to say what would happen next. The chamber is expected to hold more votes on Saturday.It was not clear whether the Senate would act in time, either.
"We can't be playing politics while our troops stand in the breach. It's an absolute dereliction of duty," Biden, a Democrat, said at a retirement ceremony for Mark Milley, a senior general. "What does work is rolling up our sleeves and getting onto these single subject bills and moving them," Representative Matt Gaetz said on a podcast after voting against the stopgap bill on Friday.
Former president Donald Trump, Biden's likely election opponent in 2024, criticized Senate Republicans for working with Democrats.
