Key Freedom Caucus member predicts House GOP will fall short of government funding goals
Fox News
Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., one of eight Republicans who voted to oust ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy, predicted the House GOP will fall short of its goals in the government funding fight.
"I don't think that we have the votes in the House to either adopt conservative policies because the moderates will vote against it, or the spending levels that the moderates want, because the conservatives will vote against it," Buck told Fox News Digital.

"So we're still stuck, and the leadership needs — and I think they've shown this a few times now — needs Democrat votes to get spending bills passed, and that's going to require either a couple of minibuses or an omnibus at some point next year."
