House Speaker Kevin McCarthy boasted about gaining enough support to pass a 45-day stopgap spending measure requiring Democrat votes to pass the lower chamber.

“We put a bill on the floor under suspension. So there is no bill that can pass without one party or the other. When are you guys going to get over that it’s all right to put America first.
