House Republicans will try again this week to advance their funding outline for the Defense Department in fiscal 2024, just a few days after far-right lawmakers derailed leadership\u2019s plans to move ahead on the budget measure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chamber was set to vote on the $826 billion plan<\/a> last week, but Republican leaders shelved the legislation after members of <\/b>the GOP\u2019s right-of-right<\/b> Freedom Caucus<\/a> indicated they would not support the bill without promises of additional cuts to non-defense spending. That left the appropriations measure without enough backing to pass, since Democrats have already raised objections to the Republicans\u2019 proposed <\/b>limits on abortion access for troops<\/a> and other social issues in the measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee Chair Ken Calvert<\/a>, R-Calf., told Defense News<\/a> that GOP leaders are working to address their conservative colleagues\u2019 complaints and remain hopeful a deal can be reached in the next few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the standoff further exacerbates tensions surrounding all of Congress\u2019 undone budget work. The new fiscal year begins on Oct. 1. Without a full series of new appropriations bills for all federal agencies or a short-term budget extension by then, government funding will lapse, forcing a partial government shutdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That could prompt furloughs of hundreds of thousands of federal workers and delay paychecks for troops mandated to stay on duty.<\/a> Both House and Senate leaders have said they hope to see progress on a short-term budget deal in the next few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
