Kevin McCarthy's Decision to Avoid a Government Shutdown
In this chapter, they discuss why Kevin McCarthy, the House Minority Leader, decided to avoid a government shutdown at the last minute. They speculate on the reasons behind his decision, including his need to prove to his caucus that there was no way out without Democratic votes. They also mention the possibility that McCarthy realized he couldn't pass anything with just Republican votes and would face opposition from Senate Republicans if there was a shutdown.
