House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced the postponement tonight of the GOP's eight bill spending bundle, citing the impending landfall of Hurricane Irma.
Prolonging the spending debate into a second week, the House's only task Friday will be a 12:30
p.m. vote on the Senate-passed fiscal deal, H.R.
which includes more than $15 billion
in disaster aid. It would also raise the nation's borrowing limit and keep the government open
through Dec. 8.
McCarthy said the House would halt work on its so-called "minibus," H.R. 3354 (.1.15), until next week to accommodate lawmakers whose districts are in the path of Hurricane Irma. Lawmakers have roughly 200 amendments remaining to debate on four separate spending titles.
"As we continue to track Hurricane Irma, I know many of our members in the southeastern United States are anxious to get home to get their families and constituents," the majority leader said, adding that he wants to ensure members "can get home safely."
