Various factions of House Republicans are looking at different options to address spending as lawmakers have just days left to pass a budget before a partial government shutdown begins.
The Republican House majority has remained divided for weeks over how to go about funding the government, with several members of the staunchly conservative House Freedom Caucus calling for cuts to discretionary spending. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has also insisted she will oppose any budget deals that include additional U.S. funding for Ukraine’s military. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has also floated the possibility of removing Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his position as the House speaker, suggesting Mr. McCarthy has not met his commitments to conservatives on the budget.
