Earlier this month, a group of hard-right Republicans hijacked the floor of the House of Representatives in protest against Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The mutiny, staged by nearly a dozen members of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, raised questions about whether the speaker could continue to govern his slim and fractious majority.
Annie Karni, a congressional correspondent for The Times, explains how and why this small group of members made the chamber ungovernable.
Guest: Annie Karni, a congressional correspondent for The New York Times.
Background reading:
• In early June, members of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus refused to surrender control of the floor • , forcing Republican leaders to scrap votes for the week and leaving speaker Kevin McCarthy facing what he conceded was “chaos.” • The group effectively shut down the House floor • , calling the speaker’s fiscal compromise with President Biden a betrayal.
