That’s raising the chances of a fall shutdown. * Give this articleShare full article * * * Read in app Speaker Kevin McCarthy has agreed to tailor the spending bills that fund the government to the demands of a small but vocal group of lawmakers.Credit...Kenny Holston/The New York Times By Catie Edmondson, Carl Hulse and Alicia Parlapiano Reporting from Washington July 2, 2023, 5:00 a.m. ET House Republican leaders working to write and pass the spending bills that fund the government face a major hurdle: Their own party — especially their most powerful, arch-conservative faction — has spent the last decade assailing federal spending and, with growing frequency, casting vote after vote against it. G.O.P. members of the House have supported spending bills less than half the time over the last dozen years, according to a New York Times analysis of such votes since 2011. Hard-right lawmakers associated with the Freedom Caucus, which has been the most outspoken about slashing spending, have voted in favor of government funding bills less than 20 percent of the time. And a smaller bloc of ultraconservative members who have threatened to blockade the House floor if their priorities are not met has almost always voted against appropriations bills — in an average of 93 percent of cases. REPUBLICAN SUPPORT FOR SPENDING BILLS HAS FALLEN House Republicans — particularly members of the conservative Freedom Caucus — have become much less likely to support spending and budget bills under President Biden.
