Tensions rise within the House GOP as Speaker Mike Johnson faces significant backlash over his efforts to block bipartisan measures allowing proxy voting for new parents. A fierce conflict has erupted, particularly between Johnson and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who has resigned from the House Freedom Caucus, citing a loss of mutual respect surrounding the issue. Despite attempts by GOP leaders to squash the proposal, bipartisan support continues to grow, indicating a serious divide within the party. The situation has been described as a broader reflection of internal GOP struggles, with accusations of hardball tactics and threats among party members. The battle underscores the challenges faced by lawmakers trying to update congressional voting rules for new parents, marking a significant defeat for Johnson and a win for proponents of remote voting.
