“Some House members are proposing that House Republicans try to bypass the right-wing hardliners in their conference,” Axios reports.
“Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), a prominent member of several centrist and bipartisan groups, floated doing an end-run around the right by soliciting Democratic votes to pass procedural measures typically passed along party lines.”
Said Bacon: “We’re going to have to have Democrats vote on rule votes. I would rather pass meaningful legislation that can get through the Senate and leave the 11 to the side. They can raise holy hell by themselves.”
