The Coming Week: House Drags Feet on Budget, Puerto Rico

The Coming Week: House Drags Feet on Budget, Puerto Rico-morningconsult: The House will not consider a GOP budget before it’s spring break, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Thursday. That means that the earliest a budget could be adopted by that chamber would be in April. After Wednesday, the House will be on its own spring break until April 12. (An informal rule among members is that a budget deal should be wrapped up by April 15, which, in theory, gives appropriators time to write actual spending bills.)
