The US House of Representatives will postpone all votes until next week, Speaker Kevin McCarthy said, as a conservative revolt paralyzed the Republican Party's efforts to advance its agenda in Washington
The standoff between U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and a hardline faction of his own Republican majority has forced the chamber into a holding pattern that looks likely to persist until at least Monday.
"Some of these members, they don't know what to ask for. There's numerous different things that they're frustrated about, so we'll listen to them," he said. Members of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus have been upset over the bipartisan debt ceiling bill that McCarthy brokered with Democratic President Joe Biden, as well as claims that some hardliners had been threatened over their opposition to the deal.
Days of closed-door negotiations have not yielded a resolution, but McCarthy said he is confident they will sort out their differences.
