Hard-right Republicans, still angry over debt ceiling, foil McCarthy on GOP vote
Source: Washington Post
In a surprise rebuke for McCarthy (R-Calif.) and the rest of GOP leadership, the Republican-led House failed to pass the rule for consideration of several bills this week. Eleven Republicans broke with their party to vote with Democrats, and the rule fell short on a 206-220 vote the first rule vote to fail since November 2002.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) changed his vote to no at the last minute so the GOP could revisit the vote, which plunged this weeks GOP legislation in limbo. On the agenda was a bill to block gas stove regulations and change the process for federal rulemaking.
The outcome underscored the anger that several members of the House Freedom Caucus still harbored toward McCarthy over his handling of a bipartisan debt ceiling bill, which Congress passed last week and which President Biden signed over the weekend, barely skirting a historic and catastrophic default.
