A general view of the U.S. Capitol, where Congress will return Tuesday to deal with a series of spending bills before funding runs out and triggers a partial U.S. government shutdown, in Washington, U.S. September 25, 2023.
Congress has shut down the government 14 times since 1981, though most of those funding gaps have lasted only a day or two.
Despite the looming shutdown deadline, the House will turn its attention first to the four full-year bills, which even if they pass would not fund the full government or prevent a shutdown.
Success is not guaranteed: Republican hardliners blocked action on spending bills last week and some have said they would try to do so again.
But that could prompt Republican hardliners to act on their threat to depose McCarthy, plunging the chamber further into chaos.
