Battle over proxy voting for new parents intensifies in House GOP

Summary

74% Informative

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R- Florida ) is pushing a proposal to allow proxy voting for new parents.

The proposal would allow new parents to designate another member to vote on their behalf for 12 weeks .

House Speaker Mike Johnson has spent this week trying to convince other Republicans to oppose proxy voting, which he argues is unconstitutional.

The latest option being pushed is language to “turn off” the privilege that would force leadership to consider the proxy voting resolution.

That would likely mean Luna would have to get her allies to stick together to overcome that hurdle, either voting it down or banding with her to force a vote in another way.

It's far from clear that Republicans who support Luna ’s resolution are willing to go that far.
