House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) plans to campaign against the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill that Senate Republicans negotiated with Democrats.
Rep. McCarthy is reportedly planning to break with Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) during a lunch meeting Wednesday, just a day after Senate leaders agreed to the omnibus, according to Punchbowl News.
Congress is expected to give a final vote on the package later on Wednesday.
Some House Republicans like Rep. Dan Bishop (N.C.) have criticized specific aspects of the bill aside from its eye-popping $1.7 trillion price tag. The North Carolina Congressman pointed to what he called a โsinisterโ portion of the bill that allots nearly $600 million to encourage โfamily planningโ in places where human population growth threatens animal biodiversity.
โMalthusianism is a disturbing, anti-human ideology that should have ZERO place in any federal program,โ Bishop wrote on Twitter.
On Wednesday, Rep. Chip Roy along with several Republican lawmakers signed a letter pledging to oppose any legislation proposed by those who vote to support the omnibus bill once Republicans take the majority in Congress in January.
โAgreed. Except no need to whipโwhen I'm Speaker, their bills will be dead on arrival in the House if this nearly $2T monstrosity is allowed to move forward over our objections and the will of the American people.โ Rep. McCarthy said while retweeting the letter.

About time to get rid of the idiot mitch! IMO
OLD McConnell has made an ass of himself too many times. Heโs obviously scamming and laundering with the Biden criminal family.
Mitch McConnell–just another example of one more time when Trump was right.
Trump has been right about everything and it is all starting to unfold……..Soros and his minions are trying to destroy America…and that is why Trump changed parties in the first place……. he saw their plans for “ONE WORLD ORDER” and changed parties….ran and won….in 2016 and 2020………. H has been right about the fraud and criminal activity of the left and more and more is coming out….. insurrection by the DOJ….FBI…… MANY SENATORS…AND THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT….. AND THEIR FAMILIES…..CORRUPTION AT THE EXPENSE OF THE TAX PAYERS……… INSURRECTION…. TRAITORS……… TREASON AGAINST THEIR OWN COUNTRY…..FINANCING OTHER COUNTRIES SAFETY ABOVE OURS……AND LETTING ILLEGALS INFILTRATE (FOR VOTES) WITH NO ACTUAL PLAN FOR ALL OF THOSE…….
ASYLUM I ALLOWED FROM YOUR COUNTRY TO THE FIRST COUNTRY YOU STEP INTO …..NOT WALKING, DRIVING, FLYING TO WHATEVER COUNTRY YOU WANT……. THAT IS ALSO ILLEGAL……. THEY ARE BREAKING EVERY RULE…….
It is time for Americans to stand up and save their country…….. no longer going along with the games and corruption of the left……..
IF YOU DON’T …… AMERICA IS LOST FOREVER!!!!!!!!!
I’m with you Zelda. Just when I think DC’s decisions can’t get any worse, they outdo themselves the next day. Their agenda is to cripple America to make it ready for One World Takeover. Let’s not let them!
And the GOP wonders why their grass root support has almost completely faded away. There is even talk out there to either create a new conservative party or join the libertarian.
Mich and his rino get alongs were part and parcel to this 1.7 trillion deal so their payout would be big. You see the Republican rino party is just as bad as the Democrat party and the sooner people like mich and Romney are removed the better America will be
If u pass this idiotic, porkster, bill u are finished. U are no better than the dumbocrap, commies, and screwing over the american people with more inflation.What the hell is wrong with u? Get rid of traitor McConnel, this pos is your problem,dump the rhino or forever lose every election forward.
It’s time to have McConnell retire.
Yes, I wish he had retired long ago.
Term limits. It time we get rid of slot of them. !!!!!!!!
Ditch the Bitch Mitch. If anyone had any doubts as to where this boot lickers loyalties lay, and somehow were confused and thought they were for the Nation rather than self interest and pocketbook. Remember this vote just after midterm eletions and his supporting cantidates that pledged loyalty to him. It all comes together.
McConnel is a RINO & is Trying to Sell Us ALL Out! He Cost us the Senate & some House Seats!
Do you think anyone cares what we write or say? I know it makes me feel better that I tried but that is not what it is going to take to get out of this mess we are in, thanks to Bidens handlers. Some one needs to step up and it sure won’t be McConnell. I know there are smarter, and more patriotic people in office who would like his job. Find them and give them the gavel.
Mitch worked with Communist Democrats for yrs he amid no decency lead Republicans to US democracyโs scrutiny big timeโs truly show his real tyrannyโs faith to the America people after Trump pointed out as biggest traitor double faces he get events more worse screwing more then ever Republicans should taking him out right aways heโs from leadership sideways to achieving Communist Democrats for Xi pride !
the tax payers are being highjacked by the democrats and the republican rinos McConnell needs to be removed as the leader of the rep. senate ., this bill is not supporting the people, every Senator that sign this bill needs to be replaced.
We need single issue bills, not this 4,000 page omnibus bills that fund everything that US citizens are opposed to – tens of billions to Ukraine to bribe them while they walk our of their country with suitcases full of cash, gold and silver, and how much comes back to Democrats. Not funding our border protections and protection from the crime Biden is bringing into our communities with drug and child trafficking. The Dems and the RINOs are a disgrace and are burying our country before the next Congress takes over. And to allow a dictator like Zenlensky to address Congress to get the US taxpayers to fund his slush fund is disgraceful. And Pelosi kissing his “ring” should get her kicked out of Congress. People are disgusted with this Congress, this regime and the FBI that put Biden in office.
Mcconnel needs to go. Votes to many times with Democrat’s.
Definitely not a leader!
McConnell is a traitor – impeach him
Ditch Mitch and his Chinese Wife.
Traitors like McConnell and his “RINO stooges” are the reason 2-A exists. Our forefathers could see tyranny,and its filthy supporters of oppression like “China Mitch” in the future,so they equipped us to fight to retain our Constitutional freedoms.
As a Kentuckian I am telling the RNC and KYGOP: I WILL NOT VOTE FOR MITCH AGAIN! I won’t vote for a demoncrat either but a no vote goes to a demoncrat. CHOSE WISELY WHO WILL RUN IN MITCH’S PLACE! Any Republican can run against him and get votes. It’s time to get him out! We are his employers for fire him!
