Eleven hardline Republicans banded together to tank a procedural measure, known as a vote on rules, that was meant to precede a GOP bill cementing Americans’ access to gas stoves.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., is among the conservatives at odds with Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
"We have an agreement with the Speaker. And I think that revisiting that agreement, and having an audit of compliance with that agreement, is the work ahead," the lawmaker said. Buck said of the kind of guarantees members would need,"I don't need commitments in writing. We've had those and they've been broken. And so I think that it's more important that we actually see the plan implemented."
"A lot of this could have been avoided had the Rules Committee agreed to a few amendments that members wanted. Even if the amendments didn't pass, it still would have been appropriate to have members be able to amend a bill as significant as a debt ceiling bill," Buck said. "We're having to grapple with the fact that the agreement that allowed Kevin McCarthy to be speaker was violated," Gaetz said."So now, we have to recreate the power-sharing infrastructure of the House of Representatives."
