Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told members of the House GOP conference Wednesday morning that he will not bring the Senate’s bipartisan continuing resolution to the floor for a vote.
Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) told reporters after a closed-door House GOP conference meeting that McCarthy informed lawmakers during the gathering that he will not bring the upper chamber’s legislation to the floor for a vote, even after the Senate voted to advance it in a bipartisan fashion Tuesday night.
“I don’t think he plans to do that,” Good said when asked about bringing the Senate stopgap bill up for a vote. “He reiterated that this morning. I called on him to consistently say that to the public, let the Senate know that’s dead on arrival and that there’s no way the House would pass that bill.”

If he put it to the floor, one of the triple-kookoos will call a motion to vacate and possibly oust him as speaker and apparently he thinks there’s a good chance they would, or else he just wants to act like he’s in control of the House and not being hand-held by the adults in the upper chamber, since the Senate bill would easily pass in the house.
Any at-risk Republican want to call the same motion if he doesn’t put it to the floor?
