GOP falls into disarray as some reps already regret newly proposed DHS shutdown bill
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
The Republican Party has been left in disarray over a recently proposed bill to finally end the Department of Homeland Security shutdown. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) has warned that some GOP Senate lawmakers are unhappy with the recently proposed bill, outlining what could be a future regret for the party. Speaking on ABC's This Week, Scalise said, "Well we actually read their bill and, frankly, a number of senators have expressed buyer’s remorse with what they did at 3 in the morning."So we looked at it. One of the things that we had real concerns with is that it actually defunds over 25 percent of the baseline operations at DHS. "We sent a bill that was short-term. It’s not exactly what we want, but at least it allows everybody to get paid — all the agencies, TSA, everybody — while we negotiate our differences. We have very big differences between the House and the Senate."While Democrats in the House expressed their support for the newly written bill, Politico reported, it is still up to the Senate to pass it through. Scalise said, "The House stayed later than we were scheduled to stay to take up a bill to fully fund the department and sent it back over to the Senate. So the bill is over in the Senate. The Senate’s got options. They’ve got to come back and deal with it."Right now, the House has before them still the bill from the Senate. They could continue on,” Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) told host Jake Tapper on CNN’s "State of the Union," "Instead, Speaker Johnson again chose to leave town and not actually take up the bill that could get passed through."Fellow Republican Party Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) was left embarrassed earlier today after speaking about details of the funding bill. The South Carolina Republican was sitting on a State of the Union panel with Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) when the CNN host asked her about the competing funding bills between the House and the Senate.
