McCarthy's Vow to Avoid Omnibus Spending Bill in Peril Due to Speaker Fight

Republicans worry McCarthy's promise to avoid an omnibus spending bill is at risk due to the speaker fight.

Only 4 of 12 annual spending bills have passed the House so far, leaving uncertainty about the rest.

Key Republicans say nothing can happen on spending until a speaker is elected.

Some hoped electing Jim Jordan as speaker would help avert an omnibus, but his bid failed.

The Senate has also stalled on passing spending bills, raising omnibus concerns.
