What's next for GOP’s right wing rebellion
Reps. Tim Burchett , left, and Andy Biggs arrive for a vote at the U.S. Capitol May 31, 2023. | Francis Chung/POLITICOSpeaker Kevin McCarthy sent lawmakers home early last week, unable to move legislation on the House floor amid an uprising by a group of conservative hard-liners upset over a deal with the White House to increase the nation’s debt limit.is any less stuck than he was last week., one of the 11 members to grind lawmaking on the House floor to a halt last week.
McCarthy was somewhat critical of the rebels last week, suggesting that the group did not have a goal in mind. But as of Monday morning, it’s clear that the hard-right faction does have an ask, which it has guarded closely. Burchett’s role in the revolt in particular is noteworthy because he’s far from McCarthy’s worst nightmare within the GOP caucus. He consistently backed McCarthy for speaker back in January, he’s not a member of the ever-restive Freedom Caucus, and he has kept his criticism focused on policies, not on personalities.
Any solution, Burchett said, lies with McCarthy — and he’s pushing for a group meeting between the speaker and his critics. While McCarthy has met with and spoken to a few of the 11, Burchett said, “That divide and conquer stuff just isn’t working.”
