Rep. Don Bacon says a majority of Republicans are "very angry" with holdouts like Massie, who asked "What's my incentive to vote for anything?" as the party struggles to pass key votes with a one-vote majority.
Rep. Carlos Giménez notes that the rest of the conference is unhappy with the rebellious members, with Rep. Greg Steube warning that "if you do that with a one-vote majority, you're not going to pass a thing," according to Axios.
Republican holdouts like Rep. Tim Burchett remain committed to exploiting the party's thin majority, with Burchett telling Axios "Bring it on. I'll take it. I'll bust their a—— every dadgum time" in response to potential reprisal from leadership.
