For several weeks while Congress Worked on long term spending plans. The republicans, who hold a slim majority in the house of representatives, are at a deadlock, with members on the right of the party demanding wide ranging spending cuts. One of that groups main objections has been the white houses request for an additional 24 billion in aid to ukraine. Tonight, mr mccarthy urged the senate to drop that measure from its resolution. I think if we had a clean one without ukraine on it, we could probably be able to move that through. I think if the senate puts ukraine on there and focuses ukraine over america, i think that could cause real problems. Megan scully is Bloomberg Congress editor and shejoined me earlier.

Bill, Kevin Mccarthy said it is not over yet. Earlier, i sopke to republican congressman ken buck, who voted against republican Speaker Of The House Kevin Mccarthys temporary Spending Bill this afternoon. House republicans just held a conference. What came out of that . Well, theres a few different possibilities. The one that is most likely to happen is we will start working tomorrow passing Appropriations Bills with regular order, and then make sure the next pay paycheque that is due is made.
