Senate Republicans fume over 'fiasco' in House [View all]

Senate Republicans were left fuming Thursday over what they called the dysfunctional “s‑‑‑ show” and “fiasco” they witnessed in the House as two proposals to fund the government through Christmas failed this week.

With Washington on the brink of a government shutdown, lawmakers are no closer to having a stopgap funding measure that can pass both the House and Senate and get President Biden’s signature by the end of Friday.

“I get weary with the drama associated with this. This is so dysfunctional and so distracting from the things we should be doing,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), who still expressed hope “we’ll pull the rabbit out of the hat” by reaching a last-minute deal to avoid a shutdown.

But as of Thursday evening, just more than 24 hours before the deadline, there didn’t seem any promising path.
