December spending gloom falls on GOP: ‘Iโ€™m so disgusted’

Politico Header

Republicans are divided over whether to land a year-end spending deal, taking it off the plate (taking power away from the Republican’s in Congress) of next year’s divided party and potential Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

Republicansโ€™ post-midterm divisions are running right into Congressโ€™s mad dash toward a year-end government spending deal.

Even as congressional negotiators pushed toward an agreement that was broadly unveiled Tuesday night, thereโ€™s dissent within the GOP over whether to embrace a deal that would make things easier for a potential Speaker Kevin McCarthy next year โ€” or to push for a delay into next spring when the party has more leverage under divided government. It all adds up to dwindling Republican enthusiasm for a spending agreement thatโ€™s taken months to finalize.

Led by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Republican brass is trying to push a massive spending bill through despite conservative bellyaching. Locking in government funding through September would deliver a huge tranche of aid to Ukraine and, theyโ€™re betting, also remove an early landmine from McCarthyโ€™s path. McConnell probably has the votes to pass a deal, but angst is growing among McConnellโ€™s members, driving down GOP support.

And while some McCarthy allies acknowledge that a spending deal would ease their to-do list in the new Congress, few House Republicans can be counted on to support it. McCarthy himself is aligning with conservatives who want to see Congress punt, thus denying Democrats a year-end win โ€” while depositing a spending fight on the next speakerโ€™s doorstep.

Summing up the partyโ€™s dilemma, Sen.ย Kevin Cramerย (R-N.D.) surmised: โ€œItโ€™s a very unfortunate place we find ourselves.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m so disgusted by the fact that weโ€™re here again,โ€ said Cramer, who is undecided and criticized both the deal and delay approaches. โ€œMy concern is that a new House, very small majority, new leadership, is going to have to take over, and to have to start from behind? โ€ฆ That concerns me. That could have negative consequences.โ€
