House GOP Faces Challenges in Passing Trump's Tax Legislation

House Republicans cleared a key procedural hurdle to advance Donald Trump's large tax and spending package, with a close vote of 219-213, setting the stage for a final vote amid internal divisions and pressure from Trump. The legislation includes significant tax cuts, energy policy changes, and immigration enforcement, with debates over costs and safety-net impacts. Despite resistance from some conservatives and moderates, the GOP aims to meet a July 4 deadline, with President Trump actively campaigning for the bill's passage.

"House GOP Chaos: Hard-right Republicans Revolt Over Spending Deal, Plunge Government into Chaos"

House GOP hard-liners, led by the House Freedom Caucus, once again sank a procedural vote in protest of a bipartisan spending deal, causing a deadlock in the chamber as the deadline to fund the federal government approaches. The revolt reflects ongoing tensions within the Republican Party over fiscal policy and leadership decisions, with some members criticizing House Speaker Mike Johnson for accepting the deal with Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer. The failed vote underscores the challenges facing lawmakers as they work to avert a partial government shutdown.

"Tuberville and Senate Republicans employ rare tactic to push for vote on Marine Corps commandant nomination"

Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville and a group of Senate Republicans are considering a rarely used tactic to break the Senate's gridlock on stalled military nominees by forcing a procedural vote on the Marine Corps commandant nominee. This breach of Senate protocol aims to shift blame onto Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for refusing to put individual nominees on the floor. Tuberville's blockade stems from his demands to scrap the Pentagon's policy on travel allowances for troops seeking abortions. Schumer has refused to schedule a vote, fearing it would incentivize other senators to place holds for their policy objectives. Tuberville needs 16 other signatures on a petition to set up a procedural vote, which would require 51 votes to succeed.

GOP Leadership Struggles with Internal Divisions and Legislative Gridlock.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy says the conservative lawmakers who blocked a procedural vote on the House floor earlier this week have not outlined any specific demands. The dissenting lawmakers, including members of the House Freedom Caucus, have voiced anger over the debt limit deal struck between McCarthy and President Biden and accused GOP leadership of exacting revenge on one member who tried to block the bill from coming to the floor. McCarthy's thin majority in the House puts him in a precarious position, only being able to lose a handful of GOP votes to still pass a bill with no Democratic support.

GOP Hardliners' Demands and Actions Cause Tensions and Frustration Within Party.

Tensions have erupted in the House GOP as party leaders squabble over hardliners' demands, with top Republicans blaming each other for Tuesday's surprise floor defeat when a band of Republicans tanked a procedural vote on a GOP messaging bill. Allies of Speaker Kevin McCarthy have directed their frustration at his top deputy, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, for mishandling a demand by a conservative hardliner, Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia, for a vote on a bill to loosen a gun regulation. Meanwhile, Scalise's allies believe it falls on McCarthy, whose deal-cutting with President Joe Biden to suspend the debt limit prompted accusations from the far-right that he violated the terms of his January agreement to become speaker.

Conservative rebellion thwarts GOP efforts to block gas stove ban.

A procedural vote to take up GOP-backed legislation to prevent the federal government from banning gas stoves failed due to 12 GOP lawmakers, including members of the House Freedom Caucus, who are discontent with Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden's debt limit deal. This puts the fragility of McCarthy's speakership on full display. The procedural step would have provided for the consideration of two House Resolutions that would prohibit the Department of Energy and Consumer Product Safety Commission from banning gas stoves. McCarthy made several concessions to members of his party in his campaign for the speaker's gavel earlier this year, including allowing a single member to introduce a motion to vacate.

Conservative House Members Rebel Against Debt Ceiling Deal and Gas Stove Regulations.

Nearly a dozen members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus joined Democrats in preventing debate on a pair of GOP bills that would ramp up gas stove protections, tanking a procedural vote that had been expected to pass easily with Republican support. The move follows intraparty discord around the debt ceiling deal brokered by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Biden. The rebellious Republicans have been vocal in their disappointment with McCarthy over the recent debt ceiling legislation, claiming the speaker didn't do enough to force significant spending cuts.
