Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) described the "perfect storm" awaiting House Speaker Kevin McCarthy this month when the House of Representatives reconvenes after its August recess.
"I think there’s a perfect storm brewing in the House in the near future in September," he told Jen Psaki on MSNBC's Inside with Jen Psaki on Sunday.
According to the Colorado Republican, the necessity of passing a continuing resolution to temporarily fund certain government functions while appropriations are sorted out — something several conservative Republican representatives are vehemently opposed to — is the first issue McCarthy will face.
But, Buck noted, "We also have members of the House led by my good friend, [Rep.] Chip Roy (R-TX), who are concerned about policy issues." He detailed that these members are requesting riders attached to appropriations bills with amendments that address certain issues, such as securing the southern border.
