After multiple splits that stressed their party, the Senate GOP leader and the speaker are moving as one as the nation nears a fiscal breaking point.
As McConnell and McCarthy set up Tuesday’s meeting during separate phone calls with Biden, the two Republicans spoke several times to coordinate their message, according to a person with direct knowledge of their talks.
McCarthy’s closest allies see his relationship with the Senate leader maturing. Financial Services Chair described “a better line of communication now. And that has made a big difference.” The duo is converging on the crucial issue of Ukraine aid, too, following a rocky stretch. After McCarthy rebuked a Russian reporter over the war during an overseas trip, McConnell even took to the Senate floor to praise the Californian.
“Whether it’s political ideology or pure pragmatism, [Senate leaders] recognize that a deal that’s not good with House conservatives is not making it through,” said first-term conservative Sen.McCarthy’s House already passed a package of blunt spending cuts coupled with a one-year debt ceiling increase that Republicans are using as leverage against Democrats who vow they’ll only accept a straightforward hike.
“Nothing McConnell does surprises me; his actions are against everything [and] everyone who promotes conservatism,” Rep.Others in the bloc of 20 who voted against McCarthy during the speaker race, such as Reps., bashed McConnell in the wake of the Senate’s approval of a $1.7 trillion spending bill in December.
