U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy tasted defeat as the House failed to advance a stopgap bill to extend government funding beyond Sept. 30, increasing the likelihood of a government shutdown.
McCarthy is currently embroiled in a conflict with hardline conservatives who want full-year spending bills.
With Congress at an impasse, the federal government is preparing for a shutdown when government funding runs out at midnight.
McCarthy has vowed not to negotiate with the Senate on a short-term spending bill, stating that he wants to fight for border security and keep the government open. (Press Run Dopwn 09/30/233) McCarthy's failure brings government closer to shutdown (pressrundown.com)
