It's not just the Pentagon policy bill that's delayed on the floor. Prepare for further Republican drama over government spending and a big tax bill.
The conservative fever that’s plagued Speaker Kevin McCarthy for weeks is showing no signs of breaking.
Some right-flank Republicans are now holding up McCarthy’s plan to pass a heap of spending bills this month, even creating an abortion-related holdup on the usually less-controversial bill that funds the Department of Veterans Affairs and military personnel. Massie added that forging ahead on the less contentious topics, as the Rules Committee decided to do in the end, “allows all 435 people to be working, while the 35 decide what they want.”
Unfortunately for the speaker, newly empowered conservatives who are holding out on pledging their support for the full defense measure rejected that idea. Attempting to appease Republicans who are demanding votes on certain amendments, the House Rules Committee bought party leaders more time with a two-track approach: Pass the non-controversial amendments out of the panel on Tuesday night and then consider the more controversial ones on Wednesday.
