In a break with tea party-aligned Senate conservatives, Republican leader Mitch McConnell announced he will not vote to block legislation aimed at preventing a partial government shutdown, even though Democrats intend to rewrite it to restore funds needed to keep the nation’s 3-year-old health care law in existence.
Referring to a bill the House passed last week, McConnell’s spokesman said Monday the Kentucky lawmaker supports the measure “and will not vote to block it, since it defunds Obamacare and funds the government without increasing spending by a penny.”
