Top U.S. House Republican Kevin McCarthy could face an untimely end to his role as speaker if party hardliners oust him, for averting a costly government shutdown on Saturday with a stopgap bill that drew more support from Democrats than Republicans.
while yes, it was a majority of replublicans… 131 to 90 wasn't not "overwhelming". 40% of republicans- the party that crafted the bill in the first place- did not support the republican bill. for comparison, only .004% of democrats opposed it.
To put it bluntly, despite having control of the house numerically, democrat are controlling the agenda because republicans are paralyzed by morons that can't even compromise with their own party
To be pedantic, 0.4% of Democrats opposed.
But yeah I agree that it is relevant that it was passed with more D than R votes.
Apparently not. They're doing their jobs for at least the next 45 days.
Listening to shit like MTG is what would keep them paralyzed.
This bill should have been done months ago. No; they’re not doing their jobs.
The scratched out a loss here- gave the democrats most of what they wanted- a clean funding bill. It’s still just a can kick…
