As the House begins to vote on the National Defense Authorization Act, the drama over the policy bill's controversy will wait until later on.
Starting Wednesday, the House will hear nearly 300 proposed amendments to the legislation cleared by the Republican-led House Committee members last month. Before the more controversial amendments make their way to the House floor, McCarthy can expect to ease into the NDAA fight as lawmakers take up issues unrelated to the nation's culture wars first.
McCarthy's speakership has been challenging even before he won the gavel. The California Republican has tried to pass legislation with just GOP votes, but his party's razor-thin margin had made it difficult for him to do so, especially since roughly a dozen of his own Republican colleagues have adopted a more extreme agenda than his.
