A truce for Freedom Caucus and McCarthy – By Jazz Shaw (Hot Air) / June 13, 2023
We may not be able to find anyone interested in a peace deal in Ukraine, but at least we seem to have reached one inside of the House majority. Last week, we discussed the “revolt” of less than a dozen Freedom Caucus members who managed to shut down business in the lower chamber. They were protesting the debt ceiling increase worked out between Speaker McCarthy and the President. Now, after a reportedly “productive” meeting between those members and the Speaker, it seems that we’re getting back to regular order. That’s a positive sign since there are still a number of GOP-sponsored bills awaiting action. (AP)

McCarthy met with nearly a dozen lawmakers in his office in an effort to quell a revolt and jumpstart various priorities that had stalled last week amid the GOP infighting. He called it a productive meeting where “everybody’s attitude was, ‘How do we find where we all work together?’” McCarthy promised more meetings with last week’s holdouts and a focus on reducing federal spending in the weeks ahead.
