Escalation: Jeffries Vows Consequences for Defectors
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries vowed consequences after Reps. Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez backed a Republican procedural rule, which passed 210-208. He and his leadership team called the move a “significant breach of trust” that warrants a “serious response.”
Jeffries asked the Democratic caucus’s rules panel to consider penalties. Democrats met the next morning to weigh changes to their internal rules in response.
Jeffries said he has not ruled out stripping the two of their committee assignments. Golden defended his vote as necessary to advance a bill protecting Maine’s lobster industry from new whale-related regulations.
