As House leadership wants a vote to reconsider the failed rule from last week, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has yet to win over the holdouts blocking legislation on the floor.
The 12 members who voted down the rule on the bill to block the bill on gas stoves did so out of frustration surrounding the debt ceiling bill, government spending, and Rep. Andrew Clyde being threatened by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise that if he voted against the rule on the debt ceiling bill, then it would be harder to get his pistol brace bill to the floor.
Rep. Matt Gaetz , one of the holdouts, told the Washington Examiner he had a “productive” meeting with Scalise on Monday morning but that he hadn’t talked with McCarthy since they shot down the rule on Tuesday. At the Western Conservative Summit over the weekend, Rep. Ken Buck proposed that the government stop funding federal programs that have not been reauthorized.
Gaetz stated he didn’t want to talk about redlines for what it would take to get him to vote yes on rules but said, “I am in strong agreement with Mr. Buck’s ideas” and that the House needs to “liberate the pistol brace legislation.”Burchett concurs, saying he fully supports the Buck plan and thinks the majority of Congress can support it, too.
