Democrats Set High Price for Helping McCarthy Avoid Shutdown
Summary by Ground News
Frida Ghitis: The extremist grip on the House Republican conference is making it nearly impossible for Congress to avoid a government shutdown. Ghitis says Speaker Kevin McCarthy's nemesis, Florida congressman Matt Gaetz, has convinced a critical mass of his House GOP colleagues to reject any stopgap spending measure. She says if McCarthy even thinks about negotiating to get Democrat votes to pass a CR, Gaetz will spring a motion to vacate the chair.
