House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters Wednesday lawmakers should punt the spending bill into January when a new Congress – where Republicans will assume control of the House – can craft the legislation.

"The Democrats have been in power. They've had the house, the Senate and the presidency, They did not do their work but they should not jam us now," McCarthy said. "Allow the American people what they said a month ago to change Washington as we know it today. We can't afford to continue to spend the way the Democrats have."
