NextImg:House advances rule, frees up floor for legislation after week-long holdup

A week after conservative hardliners tanked a rule on the bill to block a ban on gas stoves, the House advanced a new rule on the bill freeing up the floor and allowing the House to vote on legislation for the first time in over a week.

The rule passed 218-209.

On Monday, the House Rules Committee combined the rule on the gas stoves bill with three other bills, including Rep. Andrew Clyde’s (R-GA) pistol brace bill, which had become a point of contention among the Republican rebels.

The rebellion started, in part, because House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) threatened Clyde that if he didn’t vote for the rule on the debt ceiling bill, then it would be harder for him to bring his pistol brace bill to the floor.

While the rule on the bill passed, it is still unclear if the bill itself has enough support to pass.

“We've been moving people every week on this bill, but it's been incremental, and in fact, even over the weekend, I gave Andrew Clyde some more names, and he helped move some of those people,” Scalise said at a press conference. “But he's heard some of the opposition, let's just say, or the hesitation that members have had and the reasons why they just weren't quite there, and we're working to get them there.”

On Monday, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) came to an agreement with some of the holdouts that would allow them to relinquish their hold on the floor in return for spending cuts during the appropriations process and for McCarthy renegotiating the power-sharing agreement he made with the holdouts during the speaker’s race.

The spending levels promise is already starting to come to fruition, with House Appropriations Chairwoman Kay Granger (R-TX) promising to mark up spending bills at levels below the spending caps set in the debt ceiling deal. This is what the conservative holdouts were looking for.
