“House Democrats were left stunned and pointing fingers Tuesday after a pair of centrist lawmakers unexpectedly helped Republican leadership pass a key procedural vote,” Axios reports.
“The result underscored how little control House Democratic leadership enjoys over some of its more independent-minded members even at crucial moments.”
“The two centrists, Reps. Jared Golden (D-ME) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), are known to rarely attend party caucus meetings or heed leadership’s instructions on how to vote.”
