众议院议长迈克·约翰逊再次险些失去众议院议事控制权,起因是一群心怀不满的保守派议员。
随后两名民主党议员出手相助。

缅因州众议员贾里德·戈尔登与华盛顿州众议员玛丽·格卢森坎普·佩雷斯这两名中间派民主党议员,周二采取了不同寻常的举措:在保守派反叛之际,援救共和党领导层的议事议程。

这两名民主党议员支持了一项关键的共和党程序性投票,该投票的通过是共和党后续将多项法案提交全院表决的必要前提。

此举的原因是什么?据两名知情人士透露,这为戈尔登的一项优先法案铺平了道路,该法案旨在支持缅因州捕虾渔民。这项法案已经获得白宫支持,戈尔登与其他议员希望今年就能将其签署为法律。

但他们的投票同时也让约翰逊得以推进民主党反对的程序性投票,其中包括一项谴责社会主义的决议,共和党希望借此在竞选活动中攻击民主党。

多名消息人士向CNN透露,这两名民主党议员的倒戈迅速激怒了本党议员,包括部分党团领袖,他们对两人的投票感到震惊。

当被问及是否对这两名议员感到失望时,众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯告诉记者:“那两名投票支持议事规则的民主党议员没有事先告知众议院民主党领导层任何成员,因此他们让整个党团猝不及防,并造成了严重的信任裂痕。”

杰弗里斯表示,是否会对这两名议员采取惩戒措施“正在讨论中”。

戈尔登在一份声明中表示:“我投票支持这项议事规则只有一个简单的理由:它为就我的法案进行投票铺平了道路,该法案旨在保护缅因州捕虾渔民免受代价高昂、负担过重的新监管措施影响,这些措施可能会让他们破产。”

他补充道:“我的选民不在乎国会议事中的党派站队把戏。”

在整个民主党党团内部,议员们认为,这次倒戈原本可以让共和党遭遇一场惨重且尴尬的失败,甚至可能迫使约翰逊让议员们在9月剩余时间里休会回家。

通常情况下,少数党议员会团结一致反对这类程序性投票,而多数党需要通过这类投票才能将法案提交全院表决。

本周多名共和党保守派议员阻挠本党领导层的议事计划,以此抗议一项单独的临时拨款法案投票——极右翼议员对该法案深恶痛绝。

像众议员奇普·罗伊这样的共和党人拒绝支持参议院通过的拨款法案,因为该法案未允许众议院保守派插入他们的优先议题,例如他们所称的“大规模监控”相关禁令,或是为唐纳德·特朗普总统的移民议程提供更多资金。

Democrats shocked after 2 members cross aisle to help Republicans

Speaker Mike Johnson nearly lost control of the House floor — again — because of a group of disgruntled conservatives.

Then a pair of Democrats stepped in to help.

Two centrist Democrats, Reps. Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, took the unusual step Tuesday of rescuing GOP leaders’ own agenda in the face of a conservative rebellion.

Those Democrats backed a key GOP procedural vote that needed to succeed for Republicans to later bring several bills to the floor.

The reason? It helped pave the way for a priority bill for Golden supporting lobstermen, according to two people familiar with the discussion. The bill already has White House support, and Golden and others hope it can become law this year.

But their vote also allowed Johnson to proceed with messaging votes that Democrats oppose, including a resolution to condemn socialism that Republicans hope to use against Democrats on the campaign trail.

The defection of those two Democrats quickly enraged members of their own party — including some party leaders, who were shocked by the two members’ votes, several people told CNN.

Asked whether he’s disappointed in those members, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told reporters: “The two Democrats who voted for the rule did not give any member of House Democratic leadership a heads-up, and as a result, blindsided the entire caucus and created a significant breach of trust.”

Jeffries said it’s “under discussion” whether the two lawmakers will face repercussions.

Golden said in a statement, “I voted for the rule for one simple reason: It paved the way for a vote on my bill to protect Maine lobstermen from costly, burdensome new regulations that would put them out of business.”

“My constituents don’t care about the team sports of Congressional procedure,” he added.

Across the caucus, Democrats argued the defection in their ranks prevented a massive and embarrassing defeat for Republicans that could have forced Johnson to send members home for the rest of September.

Typically, members of the minority party stick together to oppose these kind of procedural votes, which the majority party needs to bring bills to the floor.

Multiple conservatives were blocking their party leaders’ plans for the floor this week in an attempt to protest a separate move to pass a stopgap funding bill that’s detested by the far right.

Republicans like Rep. Chip Roy refused to support a Senate-passed funding bill that didn’t allow House conservatives to insert their own priorities, like provisions against what they call “mass surveillance” or more money for President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda.
