.SpeakerMcCarthy is pushing to hold votes and move legislation onto the floor on Tuesday, marking the first signs of movement from the House in a week after a faction of hard-line conservatives stalled business in protest of the debt ceiling agreement.
The House is poised to vote on advancing a rules package on multiple pieces of legislation after McCarthy came to an agreement with a group of 11 Republicans who revolted against the speaker’s debt limit deal with President Joe Biden last week. The details of the agreement are not entirely clear, but they could involve changes to the power-sharing agreement that secured McCarthy’s speakership earlier this year, according to some Republicans.
Rep. Mike Lawler also came out against the Freedom Caucus members during the meeting, lamenting the staged revolt had halted action on multiple pieces of legislation. The New York freshman shut down questions of a renegotiated power-sharing agreement, arguing the small group was working against the majority of the GOP conference.
Rep. Tim Burchett , one of the 11 holdouts who helped halt House action last week, said the group would push for a number of other priorities as part of a deal with McCarthy. One of those includes an agreement to keep spending levels in appropriations bills closer to 2022 levels — a reversal from provisions included in the debt ceiling deal brokered between McCarthy and Biden.
