McHenry, who served as speaker pro tempore in October after the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, sounded frustrated over the lack of progress on a deal to keep the government funded, telling CNN’s Manu Raju, “We can avoid [the shutdown]… but it’s time to get on with the deal rather than dither. We can do it.”
