Partisan lines divided the vote on rules, with no Democrats voting for them and only one Republican voting against
House of Representatives
Lawmakers voted 220-213 for the legislation, with only one Republican voting against. All 212 Democrats voted against the rules package, saying it was full of concessions to the right wing of the Republican party.
Democrats denounced the legislation as a rules package for “Maga extremists” that would favor wealthy corporations over workers, undermine congressional ethics standards and lead to further restrictions on abortion services. “These rules are not a serious attempt at governing. They’re essentially a ransom note to America from the extreme right,” Representative Jim McGovern said.
Pressure groups on Monday stepped in to make clear there will be consequences if the first vote of McCarthy’s speakership turns into a standoff.
