McCarthy Appoints Hardliners to Rules Committee

“House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Monday appointed three hardline Republicans to the House Rules Committee, which sets the terms for legislation to be considered on the House floor,” Axios reports.

“The move fulfills a key concession McCarthy made to a group of 20 rebels in order to become House speaker earlier this month, and it gives right-wingers considerable new influence over the legislative process.”
