Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde told Newsmax on Monday that the continuing resolution (CR) that's currently being proposed is a "nonstarter" because it fails to deliver spending cuts and lacks fiscal responsibility.
Speaking to "Carl Higbie FRONTLINE" about the push-back the continuing resolution is facing in the House, Clyde says, "There's a lot of Republicans here that aren't as conservative as I am. And I believe that we need to push something forward that shows our conservative base that we mean business; we're going to be fiscally responsible. And the current CR is not it. It's a nonstarter."
According to the New York Post, some Republicans aren't backing Louisiana House Speaker Mike Johnson's two-step continuing resolution primarily because it lacks spending cuts.
Nonetheless, the continuing resolution received support from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
