Kevin McCarthy's Leadership in Jeopardy as GOP Faces Internal Turmoil.

Hardline Republicans blocked Speaker Kevin McCarthy's attempt to bring bills to the floor, seen as payback for his deal with President Biden last week to raise the debt ceiling. This move highlights the little control McCarthy has over his own party, with lawmakers frustrated over the "Dysfunction Caucus" grinding business to a halt. McCarthy relies on the far-right flank to keep power, and the stalemate shows the challenges of leading a narrow majority reliant on its most extreme members.
