White House Pans 'Extreme' 'Time Wasting' Republican Govt Funding Plan

US
Homepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsPolitical Market News

The White House has issued a statementpanning House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-LA) plan to fund federal government agencies for six months. The GOP package includes a partisan bill requiring Americans to prevent citizenship ID when registering to vote that is strongly opposed by Democrats. The White House described the plan as, "wasting time with extreme policies and a potentially harmful long-term continuing resolution (CR)."

  • The White House said: "The House Republicans’ long-term CR abdicates their responsibility to the American people. It would erode our national defense... and undermine programs that support small businesses while making wealthy tax cheats pay what they owe."
  • White House: "Operating under a six-month CR erodes the U.S. military advantage, undermines the United States in our competition with China, degrades readiness, and fails to support our troops."
  • The White House statement is an attempt to get ahead of Republican messaging by framing the GOP package as detrimental to national security. The statement could provide some cover for frontline Democrats to vote no on a bill that Republicans claim will safeguard voter integrity and bolster confidence in the electoral system.
  • The funding package is expected to come up for a vote in the House on Wednesday at the earliest, assuming it passes the House Rules Committee this evening. If the package passes the House, it will likely be returned by the Senate stripped of partisan riders and shrunk to a short-term measure to extend funding into December.
