Despite agreeing to reopen the House floor for votes last week, things are not going well between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his detractors.

Republican leadership will work this week to quell growing unrest among GOP hardliners who are unhappy with the deal McCarthy made with President Joe Biden on the debt ceiling.

As The Hill explained – “Conservatives for months have pushed to cut fiscal 2024 spending down to 2022 levels.” But instead “Biden and McCarthy set 2024 spending well above that figure — essentially frozen at 2023 levels with a 1 percent increase set for 2025.”

Eleven conservatives shut down floor votes a few weeks ago as a form of protest and only agreed to reopen it after several meetings last week.

But Florida Rep. Mat Gaetz, arguably McCarthy’s biggest critic among conservatives, says those meetings haven’t been going well. Gaetz said if his group can’t come to an understanding with McCarthy, they will shut down the floor again.
