They have a fourweek stopgap is some funding for chip for six years. Is within the House Republican conference chair. Atense hawks are frustrated the prospect of this being the fourth stopgaps in september. And the effect that has on defense funding. Theyre looking at potentially asking for money on the fence, whether that be a fouryear bill or defense anomalies. Negotiation continue around that. As of right now, there are no plans to change the bill that could change as negotiations are fluid. You have a headline today saying that paul ryan is caught between the Freedom Caucus and democrats. What do you mean by that . The reason he is caught between them is he needs one of their votes to get the cr through. If the push on this defense stuff doesnt work out, the Freedom Caucus specifically has three options. Two of which they have laid out. Plan a would be fullyear funding defense at higher levels. With just a stopgap for the nondefense agencies. Plan b is some defense anomalies. Latebreaking pay for Service Members and equipment for aircraft and other things that are maintenance that are needed. Told me today thats in the range of nine to 12 billion. Its not chump change. The third plane is are delayed out but they are seeking some concessions on defense in exchange for their votes. On the flipside, democrats are saying the cr did not go far enough to address their priorities. The chip funding is expected to be a sweetener for some democrats but not enough to get the majority of the caucus to vote for it. Crs, leadership has asked to hold back for those who want to vote yes until republicans prove they can do it themselves. What is Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told her caucus to do on this continuing resolution . Mule find out from nancy pelosi tomorrow but with the caucus leaders came out of their caucus saying is that there is no specific directive to members. They are going to vote their district but the general consensus is that there is opposition to the cr overwhelmingly because it doesnt address democratic values. Theresport chip but not opioid funding, theres no solution for the dreamers and immigration, there is no food disaster funding, list goes on. Enoughink chip is in far and they dont see if have to supporting it. Plan if thea backup cr fails in either chamber . House, i think the plan is to continue being the votes on this one and throughout the evening. We would know by tomorrow morning whether he can go forward as planned or we can see if they have the votes when they call a conference meeting. They will try to see what is then need to do to get to the votes they need. I dont expect ryan to go to democrats because i dont see democrats yielding to him on this issue. Its more likely the republicans want to figure it out themselves. We appreciate your help. Rollcall. Com is your website. Thats correct know why in the twitter handle. Thanks.
