House members expressed anxiety about the Senate talks. House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) said House leaders were only briefed on a proposal being circulated by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) on Saturday morning and were opposed to it. He said the reasons for opposition were too many to enumerate.
Admitting it’s not optimal, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said Saturday that “all eyes are now on the Senate” this morning as the House waits to see how the upper chamber votes on a bill to fund the government.
Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) sounded a frustrated note as he left a GOP conference meeting.
“The president rejected our deal,” Labrador said.
“It’s all good. It’s now up to the Senate republicans to stand up,” the Idaho republican added.
