The White House is not happy with House Republicans. They issued a veto threat against one of their funding bills for the next fiscal year. President Joe Biden already signed a bill to keep the government open, but that didn’t solve the bigger problem of Democrats and Republicans disagreeing on spending levels. Speaker Kevin McCarthy is going against what he previously agreed upon with Biden, and the White House is not mincing words about it.
