Lawmakers Clash Over Short-Term Spending Bill
[]
KWXX – Hilo, HI
House Republicans unveiled the spending bill Tuesday.
Republicans said that they were providing exactly what Democrats have insisted upon in past government shutdown battles — a clean funding bill free of partisan policy riders.
“It’ll be a clean, short-term continuing resolution, end of story,” House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters.
Johnson called the debate over health insurance tax credits a December policy issue, not something that needs to be solved in September.
“I’m sure you’re all asking the question, are we or are we not going to have a Schumer shutdown?” Thune asked reporters Tuesday.
