“I gave them an opportunity this weekend to try to work through this, and we’ll bring it to the floor win or lose,” McCarthy told Maria Bartiromo.
McCarthy on Sunday pointed a finger at the Senate, saying not only does the House have to work with the upper chamber, but that the Senate “blew up last week too.
They couldn’t pass anything.”“And unfortunately on the Senate side, the Republicans and Democrats over there are writing bills to spend more money.
That’s particularly true if the political dynamics at play among McCarthy, the hardliners in his conference and the US Senate don’t change fast.
I don’t think that is a win for the American public and I definitely believe that will make (Republicans’) hand weaker,” McCarthy said.
