GOP senators alarmed by chaos over House spending bills

House Republicans are struggling to reach consensus on a plan to fund the government, and GOP leaders are planning to proceed with a vote despite opposition from conservative hardliners. The outcome of the procedural vote is uncertain, with Rep. Nancy Mace expressing doubts about the plan's passage.
Amid the impasse, discussions are underway among some Republicans and Democrats about a discharge petition to fund the government if the House Republican-brokered plan fails. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries will meet with the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus to discuss possible solutions.
The ongoing debate over funding could lead to a government shutdown, which would have significant economic consequences. Both a shutdown and a default on the federal debt limit were narrowly avoided in recent months, causing concern among economists who estimate that each week of a shutdown would cost the US economy billions of dollars and reduce GDP growth.
