- Why House Democrats aren’t worried about aisle-crossing rebellions
House Democrats believe Hakeem Jeffries would avoid aisle-crossing rebellions unlike Mike Johnson due to a House rule allowing 218 members to force bills to the floor. They argue current GOP-led discharge petition use may decline if Democrats regain majority, and are unlikely to change the rule themselves. Efforts to reform censure procedures, including raising the threshold for discipline votes, are also discussed.
