GOP Legislative Agenda Hits Snags Amid Party Divisions

[ad_1]

New York Times: “Six weeks into their majority, Republican leaders have found themselves paralyzed on some of the biggest issues they promised to address as they pressed to win control of the House last year, amid internal policy disputes that have made it difficult to unify their tiny yet ideologically diverse majority.”

“They have had to pull back even on some measures that were supposed to be easy to pass, messaging bills once described as ‘ready-to-go legislation’ intended to articulate House Republicans’ values and force politically vulnerable Democrats to take tough votes. It is an early indication of the unwieldy nature of the House Republican conference and a mark of how challenging it will be to reach consensus among themselves on far more consequential legislation that lies ahead, such as raising the debt ceiling and funding the government.”
