But the Senate package would have added $6 billion for Ukraine to fight the war against Russia and $6 billion for U.S. disaster relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both chambers came to a standstill as lawmakers assessed their options, some decrying the loss of Ukraine aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe American people deserve better,\u201d said House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, warning in a lengthy floor speech that \u201cextreme\u201d Republicans were risking shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the House package to be approved, McCarthy, R-Calif., was forced to rely on Democrats because the speaker\u2019s hard-right flank has said it will oppose any short-term funding measure, denying him the votes needed from his slim majority. It\u2019s a move that risks his job amid calls for his ouster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4737\" height=\"3158\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23273576657991.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23273576657991.jpg.jpg 4737w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23273576657991.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23273576657991.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23273576657991.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23273576657991.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23273576657991.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4737px) 100vw, 4737px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., talks to reporters following a closed-door meeting with House Republicans after his last-ditch plan to keep the government temporarily open collapsed yesterday, at the Capitol in Washington, Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023.

Scott Applewhite)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After leaving his right-flank behind, McCarthy is almost certain to be facing a motion to try to remove from office, though it is not at all certain there would be enough votes to topple the speaker. Most Republicans voted for the package Saturday while 90 opposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf somebody wants to remove me because I want to be the adult in the room, go ahead and try,\u201d McCarthy said of the threat to oust him. \u201cBut I think this country is too important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House was tracking the developments on Capitol Hill and aides were briefing the president, who was spending the weekend in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quick pivot comes after the collapse Friday of McCarthy\u2019s earlier plan to pass a Republican-only bill with steep spending cuts up to 30% to most government agencies that the White House and Democrats rejected as too extreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur options are slipping away every minute,\u201d said one senior Republican, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The federal government is heading <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/government-shutdown-congress-biden-trump-mccarthy-f1b06964cf549b09977677e5f70bf9ff\">straight into a shutdown<\/a> that poses grave uncertainty for federal workers in states all across America and the people who depend on them \u2014 from troops to border control agents to office workers, scientists and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Families that rely on Head Start for children, food benefits and countless other programs large and small are <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/government-shutdown-snap-benefits-loans-travel-97b3a3b30624704da6eb204837a9135c\">confronting potential interruptions or outright closures<\/a>. At the airports, Transportation Security Administration officers and air traffic controllers are expected to work without pay, but travelers could face delays in updating their U.S. passports or other travel documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An earlier McCarthy plan to keep the government open collapsed Friday due to opposition from a faction of <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/government-shutdown-votes-mccarthy-gop-caucus-gaetz-585c82607c00c2cfc45768faff6e1cda\">21 hard-right holdouts<\/a> despite steep spending cuts of nearly 30% to many agencies and severe border security provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House has brushed aside McCarthy\u2019s overtures to meet with Biden after the speaker walked away from the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/joe-biden-debt-ceiling-budget-signing-f78a000d83cf85ffbaa2d08637844053#:~:text=Washington%20News-,Biden%20signs%20debt%20ceiling%20bill%20that%20pulls,from%20brink%20of%20unprecedented%20default&#038;text=WASHINGTON%20(AP)%20%E2%80%94%20With%20just,on%20the%20federal%20government's%20debt.\">debt deal<\/a> they brokered earlier this year that set budget levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catering to his hard-right flank, McCarthy had returned to the spending limits the conservatives demanded back in January as part of the deal-making to help him <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/politics-united-states-house-of-representatives-kevin-mccarthy-us-republican-party-0938c7358f41c83759246f8949ac7c15\">become the House speaker<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Friday\u2019s vote, McCarthy\u2019s chief Republican critic, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, said the speaker\u2019s bill \u201cwent down in flames as I\u2019ve told you all week it would.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gaetz has warned he will file a motion calling a vote to oust the speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the Republican holdouts, including Gaetz, are allies of former President Donald Trump, who is Biden\u2019s chief rival in the 2024 race. Trump has been encouraging the Republicans to fight hard for their priorities and even to \u201cshut it down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At an early closed-door meeting at the Capitol, several House Republicans, particularly those facing tough reelections next year, urged their colleagues to find a way to prevent a shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll of us have a responsibility to lead and to govern,\u201d said Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the lone Democrat to vote against the package, Rep. Mike Quigley of Illinois, the co-chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, called it a victory for Russian President Vladimir Putin and \u201cPutin-sympathizers everywhere.\u201d He said, \u201cProtecting Ukraine is in our national interest.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With hours to go before the midnight deadline to fund the government, the Senate was
