as posted by the channel

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy vowed Sunday that the government will again avoid a government shutdown when the recent spending patch runs out in November — and also implied he won’t back a funding bill for Ukraine without first moving to secure the US-Mexico border.

“No, because the House is doing their work. We’ve already done more than 70% of it,” McCarthy, 58, said when asked about the possibility of a future government shutdown during an interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Congress on Saturday passed a stopgap continuing resolution to avert a shutdown and keep the lights on until Nov. 17, six days before Thanksgiving.

The continuing resolution bought time, but Congress still needs to pass 12 appropriations bills to keep the government running.

So far, the GOP-led House has passed four appropriations bills, which McCarthy said account for around an estimated 70% of spending. The Democrat-led Senate hasn’t passed any.
