With 11 days to go until a government shutdown, a House GOP stalemate over messaging bills is deepening.
WASHINGTON — Republican divisions paralyzed the House again on Tuesday as a small band of conservative rebels blocked a motion to merely begin debate on a military funding bill and GOP leaders abandoned a separate vote to avert a shutdown at the end of the month.
. A procedural vote on the CR was planned for Tuesday afternoon, but leadership pulled it off the floor after failing to flip the roughly dozen declared no votes.The House GOP chaos is worse than it may appear.
"It's a bad look to not be able to get a rule through the floor. And when you do that, what you've effectively done is hand the keys of the majority to the minority," Rep. Mike Garcia, R-Calif., who represents one of the 18 GOP districts Joe Biden won in 2020."We've got to do some damage control now as a result of that, especially in swing districts that are vulnerable.
The stunning, public failures came after a day full of heated and chaotic internal GOP meetings. During a free-wheeling morning conference meeting, Republican lawmakers clashed over the CR deal, with some attacking it and others defending it. "It feels like Festivus, the airing of the grievances, in there," added freshman moderate Rep. Nick LaLota, R-N.Y.
