But the longer-term ramifications might prove to be much more grave for McCarthy, who survived a tumultuous road to the Speakership, then orchestrated a delicate deal with Biden to prevent a default, only to have the agreement backfire politically \u2014 in a highly public fashion \u2014\u00a0when payback-seeking conservatives mutinied on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The stunning episode \u2014\u00a0which came as McCarthy was basking in the glow of the debt ceiling victory \u2014\u00a0has immediately renewed questions about whether he and his leadership team can regain control of the floor and manage their restive conference with a razor-thin majority going forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It also demonstrated that McCarthy\u2019s conservative detractors will seek novel ways to exert their influence over the Speaker, even without detonating the motion-to-vacate option, which would trigger a vote to remove his gavel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re frustrated at the way this place is operating,\u201d Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) \u2014 one of the conservatives who voted against the rule \u2014 told reporters as the vote was h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ening.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s incredibly rare for members of the majority party to force down a rule, a procedural vote that governs debate of legislation on the floor. Members almost always vote along party lines for the rule even if they later break rank to vote for or against the underlying legislation, making it a test of party unity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A rule vote last failed on the floor in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>But Tuesday was the second time in a week that House conservatives voted against the GOP rule. Democrats crossed the aisle last week to help McCarthy pass the rule governing the debt ceiling package after 29 Republicans voted against it. That vote was an anomaly, fueled by Biden\u2019s endorsement of the package and the underlying urgency of preventing a default.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>In contrast to last week, when leadership had advance notice of the rebellion and time to secure Democratic cooperation, Tuesday\u2019s revolt came as a surprise and sparked a dramatic scramble on the House floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) huddled with more than a dozen conservatives in the back of the chamber in a tense effort to flip votes and ease the conservatives\u2019 concerns. Conversations developed from tense one-on-one conversations to group discussions.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.) at one point appeared visibly angry, speaking with animated hand gestures. House Freedom Caucus Chair Scott Perry (R-Pa.) was also present, though he voted for the rule.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The rule ultimately failed, 220-206, after the five-minute vote was held open for more than 50 minutes, with Scalise joining 11 other Republicans to oppose the bill \u2014 a strictly tactical move that allows him to bring it up later.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The underlying legislation stalled by the defeated rule included two measures to prohibit federal bans of gas stoves and two others designed to curb federal regulations on the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Bishop said leadership flouted an agreement struck in January during the Speaker\u2019s race to revert total discretionary spending to fiscal 2022 levels. It is not clear whether such an agreement existed, though conservatives at the time called for a budget resolution within that framework.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>GOP leaders also defend the debt bill as increasing defense spending and reverting other spending to around fiscal 2022 levels.<\/p>\n<p>Conservatives were also frustrated by more Democrats voting for the debt limit bill than Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe took a stand in January to end the era of the imperial Speakership, and we\u2019re concerned that the fundamental commitments that allowed Kevin McCarthy to assume the Speakership have been violated as a consequence of the debt limit deal,\u201d Gaetz said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThe answer for us is to reassert House conservatives as the appropriate coalition partner for our leadership instead of them making common cause with Democrats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The conservatives have leverage.<\/p>\n<p>With Democrats certain to oppose future rules on all partisan measures, just a handful of conservatives have the power to block the entirety of the Republican agenda into the indefinite future. Some suggested they\u2019re ready to do just that.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWhat we plan to do is to be ready at all points in time, acting in good faith, to reforge the unity that was destroyed last week. And so what happens depends on what \u2014 leadership is inclined to reciprocate and proceed,\u201d Bishop told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery single thing about this is about how are we going to proceed to move the priorities for the American people,\u201d Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said. \u201cBut it\u2019s gonna take a lot to restore our faith that we can do that in light of what happened with the debt limit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The driving force behind the clash involved Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.), who has been embroiled in a back-and-forth with Scalise over the Georgia Republican\u2019s legislation to prevent a federal ban on pistol stabilizing braces.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Clyde last week accused leadership of threatening to block his bill from receiving a floor vote if he opposed the rule on the debt ceiling bill. Scalise said Tuesday morning he informed Clyde it was Republican opposition \u2014\u00a0not his vote on last week\u2019s rule \u2014\u00a0that was preventing a vote, but GOP leadership was \u201cworking hard\u201d to get the legislation passed.<\/p>\n<p>Following that response, Clyde doubled down on his accusation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me be unequivocally clear, I was threatened that if I voted against the closed rule to the debt ceiling agreement, it would be very difficult to bring my pistol stabilizing brace bill to the House floor vote a vote,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Clyde had been expecting to get a vote on his bill next week. After meeting with Scalise following the failed rule vote, he said a vote is scheduled on the legislation next Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Clyde voted in favor of the rule on Tuesday, but other conservatives leaned on his clash with leadership to justify their dramatic protest. During Tuesday\u2019s vote, Gaetz said he was \u201cvery aggrieved at the punishment that was delivered to\u201d Clyde.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not gonna live in a system where our members are subject to this type of petty punishment,\u201d Gaetz said.<\/p>\n<p>But Bishop said the alleged threat against Clyde \u201cis a symptom of the larger issue\u201d that fueled the votes against the rule.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear what the conservatives are demanding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) said he wants McCarthy to announce that he went back on his word but will abide by it going forward.<\/p>\n<p>The compromise bill infuriated the ideological fringes of both parties \u2014 a dynamic McCarthy has readily acknowledged. But the Speaker has also characterized that opposition as evidence of a successful deal in divided Washington, suggesting it would be a template for the must-pass bipartisan bills to come, including legislation to fund the government and prevent a government shutdown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it only proves that the bill was right,\u201d McCarthy told reporters in the Capitol on Monday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Aris Folley and Rachel Frazin contributed.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
