House in Disarray without Speaker, Raising Risk of Government Shutdown in November
-
House paralyzed and unable to pass legislation without a speaker, increasing risk of November shutdown.
-
Original plan was for House GOP to pass 12 appropriations bills in October to fund government long-term.
-
McCarthy's ouster has upended those plans, with lawmakers going home without clear path forward.
-
Speaker candidates acknowledge time crunch but say replacing McCarthy is priority before funding government.
-
Some GOP lawmakers already blaming rebellion against McCarthy for increased shutdown odds.
