Fresh off speaker battle, GOP looks to pass rules package that has already ruffled feathers within party

The Republican-led House will vote on a new rules package that already has one GOP member saying they will oppose it do to a budget cap that could result in defense cuts.

"This has a proposed billions of dollar cut to defense, which I think is a horrible idea," Gonzalez told CBS’s "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "When you have aggressive Russia and Ukraine, you've got a growing threat of China in the Pacific — you know, I'm going to visit Taiwan here in a couple of weeks — how am I going to look at our allies in the eye and say, I need you to increase your defense budget, but yet America is going to decrease ours?" Ronn Blitzer is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics and breaking news. 

Gonzalez said he plans to vote against the rules package, leaving McCarthy’s already slim majority even slimmer as he tries to get rules passed. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., also told CBS, "I don't want to see defense cuts," saying she was unsure about her support for the rules.
