As Kevin McCarthy heads into his first full week as House Speaker, he'll immediately be put to the test.
“We don’t have any idea what promises were made or what gentleman’s handshakes were made,” Mace said of the concessions McCarthy made to Gaetz and others in order to ultimately prevail on the 15th ballot last week. “We just have no idea at this point. And it does give me quite a bit of heartburn, because that’s not what we ran on.”
It’s unclear whether Mace will ultimately vote against the package. It’s also unclear whether there are any other potential holdouts; Gonzales, despite vowing a “no” vote, said he will not whip for other nays, suggesting his vote will be more of a protest than an actual attempt to defeat the package. But one lesson from the first chaotic week of the Republican House majority is that McCarthy can’t take any vote for granted.
