Aside from McCarthy and Jordan, Republicans have also rejected their No. That plan would give more authority to Republican Representative Patrick McHenry, who is filling the speaker's chair on a temporary basis. He helped to engineer government shutdowns in 2013 and 2018 and helped to push Republican Speaker John Boehner into retirement in 2015.

My constituents sent me here to represent their interests, and let me tell you, no one wins in a government shutdown. Bipartisanship isn’t a sign of weakness, and it isn’t something to be derided; it’s a sign of a functional democracy.
