Hard-right Republicans, still angry with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s handling of the debt ceiling bill last week, sunk a GOP procedural vote on Tuesday in a show of strength in a razor-thin majority.
“You’re going to govern with Hakeem Jeffries? You should get him to [vote on] these procedural rules,” he said, referring to the Democratic House leader. “We’re going to go through a couple of weeks where there’s a reckoning of House conservatives and reflect on what has occurred, and we’ll see the play call they make.”several promises pledged in exchange
Another point of frustration hinged on Rep. Andrew S. Clyde telling his colleagues that Scalise had threatened to block his bill that would repeal an existing rule on pistol braces if he voted against the debt bill. Scalise publicly characterized that conversation differently during a news conference early Tuesday, telling reporters that he had told Clyde his bill is not ready for a floor vote since it does not have enough support from Republicans to pass it.
One focus is the appropriations process, pointing to comments McCarthy has made both publicly and privately that the debt limit bill was just the first of several ways they could reduce government spending. The conservatives, however, are still not prepared to bring up a motion to vacate — a measure that any one member can bring up to remove McCarthy as speaker — because they don’t have the support of 218 members for it to pass and there is no obvious alternative.
