With House set to vote on rules package, here are the concessions McCarthy made with conservatives
CBSN
Washington — Fresh off a bruising speaker's election that spanned more than four days and ended on a historic 15th ballot, the House will convene Monday evening to consider a package of rules governing its operations for the 118th Congress and laying out the new Republican majority's priorities. Rescind $72 billion in funding for the Internal Revenue Service that was approved by Congress last year in the Inflation Reduction Act, Democrats' health care, tax and climate package. Prohibit sales from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China Bar taxpayer-funded abortions
The 55-page proposal is the culmination of weeks of negotiations between newly elected Speaker Kevin McCarthy and a bloc of conservative lawmakers who withheld their support for his bid for the gavel until they were able to extract a series of concessions from the Republican leader.
While McCarthy ultimately secured the support needed to claim the speaker's post, the attempt to pass the rules package in the coming hours marks a crucial test for the California Republican and his leadership team as they navigate their slim, 222-member majority.
