  • Party leaders want to pair stopgap bill with disaster relief ahead of possible government shutdown this weekend.

The article discusses the ongoing delays in passing a bipartisan deal in the U.S. House of Representatives, primarily due to internal conflicts among House Republicans. Despite an agreement between President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy to raise the debt ceiling and cap federal spending, conservative factions within the GOP are pushing for more significant spending cuts and stricter work requirements for welfare programs. This resistance has led to a lack of consensus, with some Republicans feeling that the deal does not go far enough in reducing government expenditure. The situation has caused frustration among moderate Republicans and Democrats, who are eager to avoid a default on the national debt.
