Biden issues veto threat for 3 GOP-backed spending bills
President Biden is poised to veto three Republican-sponsored spending bills if they pass Congress. If lawmakers approve GOP-backed defense, health and agriculture spending bills, then the president will be ready with his veto pen. The White House alleges that House Speaker McCarthy is backing away from spending levels agreed to in a debt-limit deal, and that it would not accept the cuts pushed by Republicans.
