House Speaker Kevin McCarthy appears to have resolved, for now, an impasse with some of the more conservative members of his caucus who had brought the chamber to a standstill last week.
While McCarthy expressed confidence the House would take up those bills this week, he also acknowledged he could face similar obstacles in the future in which members of his own party oppose routine procedural votes that prevent the House from taking up various GOP priorities. Last week's procedural rule vote was the first to fail in nearly two decades.
"You know, each day there’s another challenge. I just wake up every morning, pray for the patience of Job and find a solution and move forward,” McCarthy said of the potential threat from his right flank.
