WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy appeared Monday to have resolved, for now, an impasse with some of the more conservative members of his caucus…
McCarthy met with nearly a dozen lawmakers in his office in an effort to quell a revolt and jumpstart various priorities that had stalled last week amid the GOP infighting. He called it a productive meeting where “everybody’s attitude was, ‘How do we find where we all work together?”‘ McCarthy promised more meetings with last week’s holdouts and a focus on reducing federal spending in the weeks ahead.
While McCarthy expressed confidence the House would take up those bills this week, he also acknowledged he could face similar obstacles in the future in which members of his own party oppose routine procedural votes that prevent the House from taking up various GOP priorities. Last week’s procedural rule vote was the first to fail in nearly two decades.Article content
“You know, each day there’s another challenge. I just wake up every morning, pray for the patience of Job and find a solution and move forward,” McCarthy said of the potential threat from his right flank.
