Rep. Ralph Norman: McCarthy knew budget demands but delayed approps not thinking holdouts would be ‘so firm’

Rep. Norman

South Carolina Congressman Ralph Norman says in the future Speaker Kevin McCarthy will not delay the appropriations process until the last minute in effort to push through budget that members of his party don’t agree with. The Freedom Caucus member says that dating back to January when the group heldout over McCarthy’s speakership, the budget was a top demand and negotiated priority for the group. Norman says that what is happening currently is that McCarthy didn’t anticipate that the group would hold him accountable and stand ‘so firm’ on not just passing a budget through last minute.
