McCarthy Says No Shutdown Over Planned Parenthood Fight
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy predicted the United States will avoid a government shutdown next week over attempts to defund Planned Parenthood. He noted Congress may need time to finish the 1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill as lawmakers return for a sprint through year end. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid voiced pessimism about closing all business, while Paul Ryan must steer a bill amid pressure from conservatives and groups like the Heritage Foundation.
