CNN —House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Saturday he still lacks support from a handful of GOP hardliners to put a Republican stopgap measure on the floor next week, making a government shutdown likely with just one week until the deadline.
There are still a few members that won’t vote for funding the government while we finish all the 12 bills.
When pressed on whether Americans should expect a government shutdown, McCarthy insisted there is still time.
That would give House Republicans a position from which to begin negotiations with the Senate.
“I think now some members feeling the pressure of the time line coming up,” McCarthy said.
