Because of this, it's not expected to pass the Senate if it is approved by the House, CNBC reports. .
Rep. Rosa DeLauro called the bill "extreme." .
Rather than "working on bipartisan solution[s]
that could be enacted,".
DeLauro accused House Republicans of attempting to
"cut funding to the National Institutes of Health including funding for cancer research, defund the police, and decrease resources to important allies like Ukraine and Israel.".
Speaker Kevin McCarthy
stands behind the bill.
A shutdown would only give strength to the Democrats. It would give the power to Biden.
It wouldn’t pay our troops. It wouldn’t pay our border agents. More people would be coming across. I actually want to achieve something, Kevin McCarthy, Speaker of the House, via interview on Fox News
