A major clash on Capitol Hill ended in an anticlimax, as lawmakers moved at the very last minute to delay a federal funding deadline by several weeks.
But it's unclear whether anyone "won" here: Democrats were unable to secure additional aid for Ukraine, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is now in danger of losing his speakership, and the right wing of the Republican party achieved almost none of its goals.
On this episode of our weekly podcast, On The Merits, we speak to Bloomberg Government's Jack Fitzpatrick about how we Congress got its federal funding deadline extended through Nov. 17, and about all of the upcoming legislative deadlines it faces through the rest of this year.
