Republicans have a plan, but can it stop a shutdown?

Hey there, from CNN, I'm David Rhine with the five things you need to know for Saturday, September 30th.

As we post this, the federal government September 30th.

As we post this, the federal government is still on a path to shut down at midnight tonight. But there is a lot happening on Capitol Hill right now.

The House is going to act so government will not shut down. We will put a clean

funding stopgap on the floor. In an abrupt about face, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy says he's bringing forward a short-term

resolution that would keep the government funded for 45 days. It includes money

for disaster relief, but none for Ukraine. Here's the catch. Republicans will need support from House

Democrats to get it over the line. Minority leader Hakim Jeffries railed against the

process on the House floor. You promised the American people would have 72 hours

to review any bill brought before the American people.

And you dropped this bill at the 11th hour today

and gave the American people minutes to

evaluate it. That's unacceptable. The short-term resolution would still need to be

passed by the Senate and then signed by President Joe Biden all by midnight so bottom line

Still a ways to go before a shutdown is averted now there's another wrinkle to all this. Some hardline Republicans like Matt Gates have threatened to oust McCarthy as Speaker if he brings a stopgap

funding bill like this to the floor. So what does McCarthy say to that? Bring it on. You know what if somebody

wants to remove because I want to be the adult in the room go ahead and try. But I

think this country is too important. Remember McCarthy had to make a number of concessions to be elected speaker back in January,

one of them being that any member can call for a motion to vacate the speaker's chair,

leaving his speakership vulnerable during these contentious moments.
