House Republicans are looking to pass legislation on education and immigration, among other topics, but divergent views on portions of the proposed legislation have led to leaders working to keep the narrow majority unified.
Reports suggest McCarthy and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer have had to work to ensure the proposed amendments do not sink legislation or cause divisions within the Republican conference.
An example cited in the report is a proposed amendment being tweaked before getting to the House floor is one from Rep. Thomas Massie . Massie's amendment to the GOP's parental bill of rights for education would have stripped the Department of Education of handling"any office or program related to elementary or secondary education.
“Leadership has been aggressive in beating back the substantial concerns members had about federalism,” the Republican said. A more open debate process for bills was one of the major concerns of the"Never Kevin" members of the GOP conference, which held up McCarthy being elected as speaker in January.After significant negotiations in January, McCarthy gave in to several requests from the more right-wing members who dragged the speaker election into 15 rounds, the most in more than 100 years.
A recent poll put McCarthy's favorability at 71% among Republicans, which is significantly higher than the dismal 32% favorability rating among the GOP that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell holds.
