GOP House impasse resolved with McCarthy's help.
House Republicans have reached a temporary agreement to end an impasse caused by a group of far-right lawmakers who blocked a key procedural hurdle, effectively freezing the House floor from considering any business for almost a week. Speaker Kevin McCarthy and several of the protesting members emerged after an hour-long meeting to announce that the House will vote on five pieces of legislation this week, including a key demand by the far-right group on a resolution denouncing a Biden administration gun regulation. The standoff stemmed from the hard-right’s commitment to dramatically reduce the debt that is sitting at about $31 trillion.
