‘A deal is a deal’: Biden White House letting GOP ‘drama’ and ‘chaos’ define spending fight – By Alex Henderson (Alternet) / Sept 20. 2023
With the possibility of a federal government shutdown drawing closer and closer, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-California) is struggling to work out a funding agreement with members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus. But many of them have been obstinate, raising fears that a shutdown will not be avoided.
In an article published by Politico on September 20, journalists Jennifer Haberkorn and Adam Cancryn report that the Biden White House is in no hurry to intervene in the “drama” and “chaos” that McCarthy is facing from far-right members of his caucus.
President Joe Biden’s allies, according to the reporters, are “resigned to the reality that there’s little they can do now to fix the situation and confident the politics will play out their way.”
