I think McCarthy and the more moderate ones don’t, they’ve been saying repeatedly that Republicans get the blame for shutdowns. Their far right caucus though is a bunch of fucking idiots and true believers.
They clearly don’t. They are obviously frustrated AF with their “colleagues” because they are increasingly calling them out publicly and by name which is something that I don’t recall happening before. There’s about 20ish clowns in the HoR that simply aren’t going to be happy unless they manage to burn it all down.
McCarthy and his “moderates” could pass the budget (that he already agreed to) with Democratic support.
The only reason he isn’t is because he would lose his speakership.
This is down to one person not willing make the sacrifice in order to prevent millions of people from suffering.
