House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has reached a temporary agreement with a group of 11 conservative House Republicans, ending a nearly week-long blockade of the House floor. The agreement includes a procedural motion setting up a delayed vote on gas stoves and one for a vote on pistol braces, as well as a promise to seek lower federal spending this fall. This agreement will allow the House to move forward with votes this week on the package of GOP messaging bills, providing a temporary reprieve from the deadlock that had been preventing the House from advancing any legislation.
