His party holds a slim nine-seat majority in the House, but several members are currently absent.On Wednesday, Republicans emerged from a three-hour meeting behind closed doors with apparent agreement on a $1.5tn (£1.2tn) spending measure that includes border funding and would create a commission to study ways to tackle the national debt.It prompted Mr McCarthy to move forward with a key defence spending bill written by his members, an effort aimed at messaging that the chaos within his caucus had ended.But the illusion of consensus collapsed on Thursday. Five Republicans teamed up with all Democrats to defeat the bill from even advancing to a vote, the second time that has happened in three days.\"This is a whole new concept of individuals that just want to burn the whole place down,\" Mr McCarthy complained to reporters. \"It doesn't work.\"Lawmakers had been told they would be working through the weekend but were alerted after the failed vote that no more business would be conducted this week.Several expressed frustration that there now appears to be no clear path forward to fund the government.\"House Republicans continue to be in the midst of a civil war,\" House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said.\"It's a civil war that is hurting the ability of the Congress to do the business of the American people and to solve problems on behalf of everyday Americans.\"Complicating matters for Mr McCarthy is that leaders in the Senate from both parties are pushing for a bill that funds the government and sends more money to Ukraine.That means the fractured House Republican conference may need to accept some compromises or some help from their Democratic colleagues before a spending bill is sent to President Biden's desk.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.1","shortVersion":"4.29.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/1179270920"}
