"House Republicans have been extremely successful as a team for the first five months doing things people never thought possible," Emmer told Newsweek via email. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer has a different perspective. They're gonna sit there and go, 'What are you talking about? We did all this work and Hakeem Jeffries is your partner? Screw you. "These congressmen are gonna go back to their districts and people are gonna crush them. " Fox can't cover that up, that 'this is unity, this is compromise' when people realize this is a Democratic bill now.There's a fantasy out there that can exist with four Democratic votes, but the base of the Republican Party's not gonna support that," Bannon said, calling Jeffries a tough New York politician. 2 Republican in the House, acknowledged "anger" within his party in an interview Wednesday with Punchbowl News, saying that he didn't have a major role in the Fiscal Responsibility Act negotiations, nor is he unaware of all the promises made by the speaker in January that gave him enough votes to receive the gavel in the first place. "This a forcing function to show that he's actually in partnership with Hakeem Jeffries-that Hakeem Jeffries is actually the majority leader and not Steve Scalise." "Right now being bled out every day on this, and if these guys seize the floor, they're not going to give it up," he said.

He had all these press conferences, 'We're gonna hold the line,' and he was already giving it away." "I think gonna be gone relatively quickly," Bannon said. Final negotiations between Biden and McCarthy led to the GOP not getting some of its major asks, including a less-than-desired amount of unspent COVID-19 relief funds given back and less stringent changes to expanded work requirements for programs like Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). He pointed to the 165 House Democrats who voted for it and took it over the finish line to be celebrated by leadership-as well as President Joe Biden-as a victory over "extreme voices." Former White House adviser Steve Bannon has a bold prediction for the 118th Congress: Kevin McCarthy's capitulation to Democrats on the raising of the debt ceiling has cemented his early exit as House speaker.īannon told Newsweek on Thursday that the Senate's June 1 passing of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 is really a Democratic bill at heart.
