House of Representatives Passes Clean Resolution, Averting Potential Government Shutdown

The House of Representatives passed a clean continuing resolution on Tuesday with bipartisan support, avoiding a potential government shutdown. This resolution was the result of a tumultuous few weeks in the Capitol, where tempers often flared and immaturity and rancor were at an unprecedented level. This was particularly true among House Republicans, who had to grapple with the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and the need to pass a clean resolution to avoid a shutdown.

The resolution was passed with support from both sides of the aisle, but it was not without its detractors. Many on the right wing were unhappy with the resolution, as it required both Republicans and Democrats to work together to pass it. This displeased some of the more hard-right members of the House, who had to compromise in order to avoid a shutdown.

The resolution was ultimately passed, but not without some drama. According to reports, there were even allegations of kidney punching in the House. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) commented on the situation, saying “They were better behaved than some of the people in this place.”

The resolution passed this week is a sign that the House is beginning to move forward after a tumultuous few weeks. It is unclear how the right wing will react to the resolution, but it is clear that the Capitol is still a place of high emotions and tensions. It remains to be seen how the House will move forward in the coming weeks, but for now, the resolution has averted a potential government shutdown.
