House Republican leaders worked to salvage a short-term spending bill that sparked angry disagreements among the party’s rank-and-file, but they remained short of the support needed to pass the measure and show the party could unite to avert a government shutdown.
A procedural motion to advance the legislation was canceled for the day to allow more time for talks, and an afternoon measure related to advancing a full-year military appropriations bill failed after five Republicans voted against the rule. That marked an embarrassing reminder to leaders that dissidents were willing to derail routine business to make their protests heard.
“I won’t give up,” said House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) “I like a challenge. I don’t like this big a challenge, but we’re just going to keep doing it until we fix it.”
