McCarthy bows to the Treason Caucus to shut down the U.S. Government.

McCarthy told conference he won’t allow vote on Senate stopgap: GOP lawmakers

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told members of the House GOP conference Wednesday morning that he will not bring the Senate’s bipartisan continuing resolution to the floor for a vote.

Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) told reporters after a closed-door House GOP conference meeting that McCarthy informed lawmakers during the gathering that he will not bring the upper chamber’s legislation to the floor for a vote, even after the Senate voted to advance it in a bipartisan fashion Tuesday night.

“I don’t think he plans to do that,” Good said when asked about bringing the Senate stopgap bill up for a vote. “He reiterated that this morning. I called on him to consistently say that to the public, let the Senate know that’s dead on arrival and that there’s no way the House would pass that bill.”

Pressed on if McCarthy told the conference that he will not bring up the Senate legislation, Good responded, “that’s exactly right.”

A second House Republican confirmed to The Hill that McCarthy said he would not bring the measure to the floor for a vote.

Senate leaders unveiled a continuing resolution Tuesday afternoon to fund the government through Nov. 17. The legislation also includes roughly $6.15 billion in funding for Ukraine, $5.99 billion in disaster assistance and it would temporarily extend the expiring authority of the Federal Aviation Administration.

The Senate advanced the legislation in an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote Tuesday night, 77-19.

While the measure has the backing of Democrats and Republicans in the Senate, a number of House conservatives have already lined up against the legislation, pointing to the inclusion of Ukraine aid and the exclusion of border security provisions.

Asked about the Senate proposal following Wednesday’s conference meeting, McCarthy told reporters “I don’t see the support in the House.”

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said the legislation “is dead over here,” referring to the House.

Yup, it's dead in the House, and I am not talking about the Senate bill.

Tool.

McCarthy could do what’s right or do what keeps him in power. That was an easy choice for a Republican.

I wonder what he would do if the "reasonable*" house Republicans said they were going to call for a vote on his speakership if he didn't put the stopgap up for a vote. Specifically citing his continuing support of the small minority of members.

So he's reneging on the deal he made? Trumpo would be proud!
