The GOP chair was caught off guard and scrambled—first delaying the vote, then trying to sabotage it by adding amendments to include Biden administration communications. Democrats called their bluff and agreed.
Then the GOP chair, Rep. Higgins, lied, claiming the motion FAILED until Rep. Robert Garcia forced a full roll call vote.
Ultimately, the vote passed 8-2 after 3 Republicans DEFIED their leadership and joined all 5 Democrats to pass the motion.
Along with what Salty said, it also almost certainly implicates some of the DNC’s donor class. At this point, it’s too big of a win to not go with it and too big of a loss to go against it though. I don’t know if there’s any amount of money that could get the majority of Democrat representatives to stick their necks out and go against it.
