House GOP leaders race to end conservative revolt
Fox News • • general
Key Points:
- House GOP leaders, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, face a critical challenge as a conservative revolt has stalled House proceedings for weeks, blocking key votes ahead of the November midterms.
- Conservative Republicans are withholding support for procedural votes until the Senate passes the SAVE America Act and House leadership schedules a vote on border security legislation, demands that currently lack broad GOP support.
- Vice President JD Vance postponed a planned visit to the House GOP conference as leadership seeks White House assistance to end the impasse, while former President Trump has urged rebels to end their "grandstanding."
- The stalled agenda includes an annual government spending bill and a measure to make daylight saving time permanent, but some conservatives prioritize election integrity legislation over these items.
- House conservatives, including members of the Freedom Caucus, are pushing for votes on the SAVE America Act and the Permanent Trump Secure Border Act, using procedural blocks to pressure leadership for action on these priorities.
