Trouble brewing as GOP struggles with spending bill votes

House Republican leaders are struggling to muster the necessary GOP votes to pass their latest plan to fund the government, raising the prospects of a government shutdown on Friday at midnight.

GOP leadership had appeared confident throughout Wednesday that a new strategy to pass a clean continuing resolution (CR) through Jan. 19, along with a separate disaster relief bill, would avoid an intra-party fight over the funding bill.

But the strategy was quickly thrown in doubt as it became clear House GOP leadership did not have the votes to get the bill through the chamber.

Lol, they desperately need House Democrats votes. Ryan you know what to do! Assume the position for Pelosi lol.

Like I said , we will come out winning in the end .

GC coming for Christmas guys. Stay positive!

i still got high hopes mayne, there is still 48 hours left dawg!

you sure you'll qualify?

Please let it be so! Can't take this anymore

It’s clear they desperately need Democratic votes . Dems will be under intense fire especially in the house not to give it for nothing.

If they need them now imagine in January!?!?

Pelosi needs to issue a statement. If you want our votes, attach the dream act and all our other priorities to the CR.

I hope so too but I think both sides of the aisle want to see the list of WH policy demands before putting anything up for a vote

So fucking hopeful! I got my fingers crossed!
