House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said he will strip money meant for training Ukrainian soldiers from the defense appropriations bill, which hard-line conservative members in his conference opposed, and hold a separate vote on it.

The defense appropriations bill included a provision for $300 million to go toward training for Ukrainian soldiers. Some members who were blocking the defense funding bill from coming to the floor by voting against a procedural motion twice this week cited the provision as one of their reasons for doing so.

“I just voted NO to the rule for the Defense bill because they refused to take the war money for Ukraine out and put it in a separate bill,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said in a social media post.

Acknowledging this reality, McCarthy said Friday he would strip the provision out of the bill and hold a separate vote on it.

“This money is roughly 300 million for training, something we've always done; it was also in the NDAA,” he said. “What you can do is you can take it out, move the DoD approps and move that piece all by itself.”

The separate vote on the Ukraine aid would likely pass, as most in the House supports the provision.

This is just one way McCarthy is attempting to appease the further right members of his conference in order to pass appropriations bills and try to avoid a government shutdown.

At 1 p.m. on Friday, the House Rules Committee is set to meet to consider a rules package that would include the defense appropriations bill, homeland appropriations bill, state and foreign operations appropriations bill, and the agriculture appropriations bill.

This will allow the House to vote on one rules package for all four bills, two of which significantly cut spending from the previous year, start the amendment process, and possibly pass and send them over to the Senate.

McCarthy wants to vote on the rules package on Tuesday, he said.

But this will not help avoid a government shutdown on Oct 1. Since the Senate will never accept the bills at the spending level the House wrote them at, there will need to be a continuing resolution to keep the government funded.

The speaker said he still believes that if “you shut down, you're in a weaker position,” and so he will move forward next week with trying to pass a Republican-only continuing resolution that includes spending caps and border security provisions.

There’s a hope from McCarthy and his allies that if the House can move on some of the appropriations bills that cut spending, such as the state and foreign operations and agriculture appropriations bills, they can build up goodwill from the holdouts and attempt to convince them to vote for a Republican-led continuing resolution and not have a shutdown, something McCarthy is adamantly trying to avoid.

“I just believe if you're not funding the troops, and you're not funding the border, it's pretty difficult to think that you're going to win in a shutdown,” McCarthy said. “I've been through those a couple of times, and if members think by moving you into a shutdown that that's a positive idea, I don't think that's where the majority of our conference is.”

The continuing resolution will be at the $1.471 trillion level, while the appropriations bills the House will try and pass will be marked up at the $1.526 trillion level.

The final product of both the continuing resolution and the appropriations bills will look different as the Democrat-controlled Senate has already made their intentions clear to not mark up at the levels the House is sending them and expressed they want a clean continuing resolution — a stop-gap funding bill without policy riders or spending cuts attached to it.
