Incoming House GOP chairs ratchet

$25/hr Starting at $25

WashingtonCNN — 

Republicans who will chair House committees in the next Congress are warning that if Kevin McCarthy’s detractors deny him the 218 votes needed to become speaker, they are at risk of undermining the slim majority they won in November.

“Let us not squander this majority before we even take back the gavels,” the incoming chairs write in a letter on Monday. “Time is of the essence, and the American people want us to get to work now. Majorities are earned, never given – and the American people will remember how we choose to begin ours.”

The letter is part of the growing public pressure campaign against the five GOP dissidents – Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Bob Good of Virginia and Matt Rosendale of Montana – who promise their numbers will only grow in a race in which McCarthy can’t lose more than four GOP votes. Former President Donald Trump has called on the five members to back off their opposition to McCarthy and the House GOP leader has contended that their opposition could put the Republican agenda “in jeopardy.”

The five GOP members have warned they may vote as a bloc on January 3, meaning they’ll all vote the same way. Biggs, who secured 31 votes when he lost the GOP nomination for speaker against McCarthy last month, has told CNN he’s “not bluffing” and plans to run for speaker when the full House votes next month.

إذا لم يحصل مكارثي على 218 صوتًا في 3 يناير ، فسيواصل مجلس النواب التصويت حتى يحصل شخص ما على الأصوات - وهو أمر لم يحدث منذ عام 1923.

قام مكارثي في الأيام الأخيرة بتصعيد حملته للضغط العام على الأعضاء الخمسة بشكل حاد ، بحجة أن الأغلبية الجمهورية يمكن أن تنحرف عن مسارها إذا لم ينحنيوا.

لقد أمضى أيضًا ساعات خلف الأبواب المغلقة في التفاوض على سلسلة من القواعد التي يريدها الفصيل المتشدد من أجل إضعاف المتحدثين وتمكين أعضائه ، بما في ذلك الاستعداد للانحناء على بعض طلباتهم الرئيسية. لكن مكارثي لم يوافق بعد على السماح لعضو فردي بالدعوة للتصويت على عزل رئيس جالس - وهو محور مطالب المتشددين التي قاومها الجمهوري من كاليفورنيا حتى الآن.
