So, this guy basically did what got McCarthy fired, but no one from the far right is standing up to give him the boot because he gives off more conservative vibes or something? It’s just all about the feels?
That party is a fucking clown car.
Call them what they are at this point: a cabal. They aren’t a political party.
I thought it was because he basically ignored the 12 nuts jobs and went to Democrats to get the bill over the line. Something McCarthy thought would end his speakership, but alas no. He gave in to the 12 and they ate him up anyways lol
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a stopgap measure to avert a partial federal government shutdown, as wide swaths of lawmakers from both parties showed support for the bill.
The short-term legislation now heads to the Senate, where Democratic and Republican leaders have voiced support.
To prevent a shutdown, the Senate and Republican-controlled House must enact legislation that President Joe Biden can sign into law before current funding for federal agencies expires at midnight on Friday.
Some Republicans on the party’s right flank said they were frustrated that it did not include the steep spending cuts and border-security measures they sought.
Johnson’s bill would extend funding for military construction, veterans benefits, transportation, housing, urban development, agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration and energy and water programs through Jan. 19.
Congress is in its third fiscal standoff this year, following a months-long spring impasse over the more-than-$31 trillion in U.S. debt, which brought the federal government to the brink of default.
