House Speaker Kevin McCarthy‘s last-ditch plan to keep the federal government temporarily open collapsed in dramatic fashion Friday as a robust faction of hard-right holdouts rejected the package, making a shutdown almost certain.
The bill’s complete failure a day before Saturday’s deadline to fund the government leaves few options to prevent a shutdown that will furlough federal workers, keep the military working without pay and disrupt programs and services for millions of Americans.
A shutdown would mean millions of workers will be furloughed, closing a number of Washington museums, national landmarks and all national parks. But the ripple effect will be much larger, with travel delays, disruptions to medicare, social security and food assistance programs.
Global’s Brittany Rosen has the details.
