Chip Roy \u2063(R-TX), who is helping to lead a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lisa-murkowski-takes-lead-in-senate-race\/\" title=\"Lisa Murkowski Takes Lead in Senate Race\">conservative revolt<\/a> just weeks ahead of the\u200d spending deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Congress has only\u2064 16 days until the government is scheduled to run out of money and enter a shutdown period, sending \u2064House GOP leaders into a scramble as \u200cthey attempt to get all corners of their \u200dconference on board to advance the must-pass legislation. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mccarthy-fights-to-shore-up-republican-support-ahead-of-speakership-vote\/\" title=\"McCarthy Fights to Shore Up Republican Support Ahead of Speakership Vote\">hard-line conservatives<\/a> have threatened to withhold their support on any spending legislation unless\u200b other demands are met, putting lawmakers\u2063 at a stalemate ahead of the Sept. 30 deadline.<\/p>\n<h3>Republican Threat Becomes Real\u200d for Biden\u200c After Impeachment Inquiry<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThe \u200cleverage point we have is this spending fight right now. It&#8217;s the only leverage point we have for the next year,\u201d Roy told conservative radio host Glenn Beck on Thursday. \u201cThis is a fight. It&#8217;s the only real fight for the next 15, 16, 18 months, until the \u2064presidential election is adjudicated.\u200c So we&#8217;ve got to do that now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Congress can&#8217;t pass all 12 of its bills before the end of the month,\u200b lawmakers will typically agree to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/congress-faces-an-absolutely-brutal-september-filled-with-high-stakes-deadlines\/\" title=\"Congress Faces An Absolutely Brutal September Filled With High-Stakes Deadlines\">continuing resolution<\/a> that\u200c allows the government to operate at the same spending\u200b levels until a new agreement is made \u2014 something conservatives \u2064say is out of the question unless certain provisions are included.<\/p>\n<p>Among those demands are passage of\u2062 the GOP-led border security bill and slashed funding for certain &#8220;woke&#8221; policies at the Pentagon. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has been working with his\u2064 right flank to iron out some sort of\u2062 agreement, but nothing\u2064 has been agreed upon yet, an aide told the Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<p>Still, McCarthy told\u2062 reporters he hopes to push a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-passes-stop-gap-bill-funding-government-through-february\/\" title=\"House Passes Stop-Gap Bill Funding Government Through February\">short-term continuing resolution<\/a> through the House as early as next week to keep the government funded, noting he would keep the House in session until\u200d a spending agreement is passed. Those comments come as McCarthy has expressed frustration with members of the conservative Freedom Caucus, \u200despecially after \u2064they sank plans to vote on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/government-spending-fight-is-house-gops-only-leverage-point-chip-roy-says\/\" title=\"Chip Roy says that the government spending fight is the House GOP's sole leverage point.\">defense\u200b appropriations bill earlier<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n<p>The House was initially scheduled to\u2064 advance that spending bill on Wednesday, but GOP\u2064 leaders postponed its consideration due to a lack of support from \u200ckey holdouts. It&#8217;s unclear\u200c why conservatives opposed the legislation, \u200dwhich McCarthy said was at the center of his frustration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am frustrated,\u201d McCarthy said on Thursday. \u201cI don&#8217;t have \u2063one complaint by\u2063 any member of what&#8217;s wrong with this\u2062 bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK \u200dHERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Roy revealed that part of the reason the defense appropriations\u2064 bill didn&#8217;t garner the support \u200bneeded to\u2064 pass is because conservatives are focused on the larger picture and seeking to keep overall spending levels down. \u200dBut he also pointed to his previous demands to rein \u200bin the so-called &#8220;weaponization&#8221; \u200bof the federal \u2063government, such as the Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of \u2064us are just saying, \u2063&#8217;Guys, we&#8217;re not \u2064going to break. We&#8217;re going\u2062 to\u2064 hold the line and\u200c say that we&#8217;ve\u200d got to get changes out of the Senate and the president,&#8217;\u201d Roy said. \u201cAnd that&#8217;s what&#8217;s currently being\u2062 debated as we speak.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
