A Strategy to Nowhere

A Strategy to Nowhere


Playbook: “The new plan: Package several full-year appropriations bills together and try to get them moving in the House, bowing to the wishes of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and a handful of other members.”

“On its face, it’s a strategy to nowhere: (1) There’s no guarantee McCarthy will be able to muster the votes to move forward — in fact, you’d have to bet against it, particularly after a top ally, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), announced yesterday that she remains a ‘hard no.’”

“And (2) even if Republicans move forward with the full-year bills, that does nothing to avert a government shutdown next weekend. Those bills are DOA in the Senate, and Gaetz and a handful of like-minded hardliners insist that they won’t vote for any continuing resolution to keep the government open temporarily — even one that reportedly includes a 27% nondefense spending cut.”
