.SpeakerMcCarthy repairing relationships with House rebels following contentious debt ceiling fight
The Republican-led House of Representatives on Friday voted to pass the annual defense policy bill following a wave of pushback from Democrats over multiple contentious amendments, touching on topics such as medical coverage for transgender soldiers and out-of-state abortion policies.Four members of the right-wing House Freedom Caucus voted against the bill, with most members approving the legislation.
The amendments, pushed by the GOP’s far-right side, come weeks after high tensions between McCarthy and Freedom Caucus members over opposition to the plan to raise the debt limit, with some Republicans arguing spending numbers should have stayed at fiscal 2022. The bill, which suspends the debt ceiling until January 2025, caused an uproar among several GOP members for not cutting enough spending. Several members threatened a vote of no confidence for McCarthy's handling of the debt ceiling deal.
