GOP Rep. Nancy Mace said she is 'on the fence' about supporting a rules package that will govern the way the House operates under Republican control.
GOP Rep. Nancy Mace said Sunday she is"on the fence" about supporting a rules package that will govern the way the House operates under Republican control, citing the backroom-deal making that occurred with the group of conservatives who initially opposed new Speaker Kevin McCarthy's "I like the rules package. It is the most open, fair, and fiscally conservative package we've had in 30 years.
Gaetz's vote dramatically escalated tensions among Republicans and led McCarthy to confront him directly on the House floor. But on the 15th ballot, after some fielded calls from former President Donald Trump, Gaetz and the five other holdouts voted"present," paving the way for McCarthy to become speaker."Every time he voted against Kevin McCarthy last week he sent out a fundraising email," she said.
The South Carolina Republican said she is"considering" withholding her vote on the rules package until she knows the full scope of the agreements made with the conservatives who initially opposed McCarthy.
