A band of House conservatives voted against advancing a bill to prevent potential government bans against gas stoves. It could be just the beginning of moves to undercut the speaker.
A band of House conservatives mounted an extraordinary rebellion against their own party leaders on Tuesday, venting their angst over the recent debt limit fight with a surprise protest that derailed the chamber floor.
Bishop added that the Republicans who voted no on Tuesday haven’t decided yet whether to take down further votes to make their points: “But the problem that has been precipitated entirely by the speaker’s approach to the debt ceiling is going to have to be dealt with.” What is clear: Freedom Caucus voted against advancing two bills that would prohibit the Biden administration from regulating gas stoves. GOP leaders got no heads-up about their plan, according to some of the rebels, who also indicated it was a spontaneous maneuver.
After the floor implosion, Clyde refused to discuss his conversations with Scalise but said in a brief interview that “I’m confident” in a floor vote next week on his bill.“I think we’re not there … the discussions haven’t occurred. It’s always an option. Right now I think we need to work on the issues in the Republican conference before we deal with motion to vacate,” Clyde said. “I would much prefer to see us work things out.
