Conservative Rebellion Rocks GOP Leadership Over Gas Stove Bill and Debt Deal Anger

House conservatives, including members of the Trump-aligned House Freedom Caucus, staged a surprise protest on Tuesday, voting against moving forward on a bill they support, which disrupted the party’s plans to pass legislation protecting gas stoves from potential government bans. The move was unexpected by senior Republicans, and some GOP lawmakers fear it might be just the beginning of a conservative drive to undercut Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s team unless he keeps promises he made in order to win the House’s top gavel in January.
