House GOP calls for 'no' vote on CR

House Republican leadership is urging its members to oppose a stopgap funding bill to avoid a shutdown in Washington.

Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) sent a memo to House GOP offices Tuesday night recommending that members vote against the continuing resolution (CR), which would keep the government funded at last year’s fiscal levels until Dec. 16.

The measure also includes roughly $12.3 billion to aid Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia.

In its memo, GOP leadership encouraged members of the conference to vote “no” on the CR as a rebuke for Democrats allegedly not negotiating with Republicans on key issues, including inflation, the border and the opioid crisis.

Might

It’s the same as DeSantis voting against relief for Sandy localities and Obama. Petty grandstanding
