Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's office has been working behind the scenes to get House conservatives to drop their demands that a short-term funding bill include an immigrant voting crackdown, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: A GOP showdown is brewing ahead of the Oct. 1 government funding deadline. Conservatives have shown a willingness to flirt with shutdowns to push their priorities, which McConnell's team wants to avoid. In a recent meeting with other GOP offices about a short-term spending bill strategy, top McConnell staffers argued that adding a non-citizen voting bill would backfire.

Mitch the $itch and Paul RYNO - kneecapping Trump and maga right from the start
It’s disappointing that the Turtle still has an office.
Aren’t the Chinese done with this turkey, yet?
His SIL is gone, already - what does it take?
I cannot wait for this RINO to be gone.
Ditch Mitch
Turtle will freeze anytime now, with that blank look on his face. What is wrong with KY voters?
Mitch may be correct, ya’ know.
Govt. shutdowns rebound poorly on Rs, basically because they’re spineless cowards, afraid of media criticism.
Guessing wrong and costing Rs the WH, senate, & house are pretty high stakes.
...but, I believe he’s wrong .
Government shutdowns won't work.
So what's the next move here?
A Trump victory will generate unimagined upheaval throughout the Swamp. THIS WILL BE THE END OF THE GOPe.
And so things like this are going to be thrown at the wall to see what sticks, and sticking is defined as carving 2% off Trump in battlegrounds.
Do not rock the boat. Get past election day. You don’t need any silly ass assertion of conservatism if it risks the Grand Prize. There will be plenty of time with a Trump White House to try stuff like this.
Johnson will cave like a cheap suit.
Freedom Caucus guys are trying to get Ds on record as supporting non-citizen voting-—which is admirable—but could they accomplish the same with a separate bill ? Caucus guys know the mechanizations better than me.
History shows shutdowns do NOT negatively affect Rs at the ballot box, but the stakes make me nervous, nonetheless.
Big surprise.
McConnell favors letting illegals vote, hoping again to stop Trump.
MAGA republicans should just come out with it; Mitch is a Chinese asset.
Everything he does prioritizes China over America, every time.
Treasonous POS.
This is Mitch’s last go-round...and there’s fewer and fewer of his ilk in senate and house.
Even better in ‘25.
Hey Mitch, you mookabookers need to quit spending my money on crappola
There is a HUUUUGE political gain in blocking any and all spending on illegal aliens.. Besides, it’s he right thing to do. Mitch and the rest of the establishment don’t want that to happen.
