Scalise: Some senators ‘expressed buyer’s remorse’ about DHS bill
Quick Insights
The Bottom Line
House GOP leader Scalise says some senators regret their partial DHS funding bill amid department shutdown.
AI Summary
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said Sunday that some senators are regretting their support for a Senate bill that would fund only part of the Department of Homeland Security. Scalise indicated that House Republicans reviewed the legislation and found problems with it, suggesting internal disagreement within the GOP over how to handle DHS funding. The comment reflects tension between the chambers over a partial DHS shutdown and raises questions about whether the Senate bill can survive scrutiny from House conservatives. Scalise did not specify which senators expressed regret or what elements of the bill drew criticism. The dispute could complicate efforts to pass a full DHS funding measure before the shutdown takes effect.
