GOP lawmakers sink Speaker Johnson's bid to block remote voting push

A band of Republican lawmakers sunk an effort by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to block a plan to allow remote voting for lawmakers who become new parents, a bitter dispute that brought the House floor to a halt.

A procedural rule vote to advance the House GOP’s package of bills for the week failed 206-222, with nine Republicans bucking Johnson and voting with all 213 Democrats. The failed vote means, for now, that those pieces of legislation cannot move forward for a final vote.
