Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.).<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>McCarthy answered \u201cyes\u201d when asked Wednesday evening if members of his leadership team were on the same page amid the floor drama.<\/p>\n<p>But in an interview with\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/punchbowl.news\/archive\/6823-punchbowl-news-am\/\">Punchbowl News<\/a>\u00a0on Wednesday afternoon, describing the rebellion on the House floor, Scalise pointed to the conservative members feeling \u201cmisled by the speaker\u201d over McCarthy\u2019s handling of the debt limit deal compared to the commitments he made during the Speaker\u2019s race in January \u2014 a gripe that Scalise neither affirmed nor beat down.<\/p>\n<p>The two men publicly pointing to differing reasons behind the\u00a0conservative rebellion\u00a0represents a rare public display of the tensions between the GOP leaders managing a slim and spunky House majority. As the House reaches almost a full week of stalemate, it\u2019s a situation that some members hope can be put to rest sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCooler heads have got to prevail. They\u2019re great people. They\u2019re actually very similar,\u201d Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) said of Scalise and McCarthy, adding that he hopes they can work together. \u201cThey better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy and Scalise have never been described as being the best of friends, but any animosity has mostly stayed out of their public statements.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During the historic 15-ballot Speaker election in January, Scalise \u2014 the most obvious potential alternative to McCarthy if he had been forced to drop out of the running \u2014 always publicly supported McCarthy, and gave one of the nominating speeches in favor of the Republican Speaker nominee on the floor.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>But last week\u2019s unexpected floor rebellion, in which 11 GOP members sunk a procedural rule vote for the first time since 2002, has exposed cracks between the leaders and\u00a0in\u00a0how the GOP leadership team functions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clydes_legislation\"><\/span>Clyde\u2019s legislation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One key dynamic at the core of the floor rebellion was an allegation from Clyde that a member of leadership \u2014 he did not name who \u2014 had threatened to keep one of his legislative items from getting a floor vote if he did not vote for the rule vote for the debt bill\u00a0on May 31. Clyde was one of 29 Republicans who\u00a0did oppose that rule, forcing the GOP to\u00a0rely on Democratic support\u00a0to advance the debt limit bill.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy later named Scalise directly in relation to Clyde when explaining the chaos on the floor.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThe Majority Leader runs the floor. And yesterday was started on something else,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cIt was a conversation that the majority leader had with Clyde, and I think it was a miscalculation or misinterpretation of what one said to the other. And that\u2019s what started this, and then something else bellowed into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scalise had a different account when asked about Clyde\u2019s allegation at a press conference just hours before the 11 GOP members sunk the rule. Scalise said Clyde\u2019s resolution, which would block the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives from banning pistol brace attachments, did not yet have enough support in the GOP to pass \u2014 but that Scalise was working to get it to pass.<\/p>\n<p>Clyde had told The Hill the day before that he spoke to leadership and was expecting a vote on his legislation\u00a0the following week.\u00a0But\u00a0after Scalise\u2019s comments,\u00a0Clyde reiterated in a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/emilybrooksnews\/status\/1666133821031428104\">statement<\/a> that he was threatened by leadership.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The stunning floor rebellion hours later, which blocked advancement of legislation relating to gas stoves and regulatory reforms, included Scalise and Clyde in a heated discussion on the House floor that\u00a0later included other GOP rebels.
