The 13 House Republicans who voted for the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill aren’t expected to face formal punishment from their party’s leadership despite anger from some colleagues, four GOP aides tell Axios…
What they’re saying: Brown, the Young spokesperson, said: “Sure, a few vocal members have used social media to draw attention to the 13 Republican ‘yes’ votes, but their tweets and cable news attention doesn’t represent a real effort to retaliate.”
“A handful of rabble-rousers are frustrated, but this isn’t serious, nor is leadership involved,” Brown added.
Another Republican leadership aide said it’s “probably a few disgruntled members,” calling the effort “a bunch of nothing.”
A third aide says the House Republican leadership has “indicated that it is not supportive of removing infrastructure supporters from committee assignments.”
