House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries ) said the Democratic Party is weighing consequences for two of its members who voted with Republicans to advance a procedural rule, according to statements reported by Politico.
Democratic Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Jared Golden of Maine crossed party lines to support the rule, which helped revive the GOP legislative agenda in the House.
In a statement, Jeffries said the two lawmakers' decision to side with the Republican majority represented a "significant breach of trust." He added that the action "necessitates a serious response" and that the Committee on Caucus Rules has been asked to take the matter up "in short order."
Jeffries did not specify what punishment might be considered, but said consequences have not been ruled out for the two lawmakers.
Golden, who is retiring after this term, reportedly told journalists he supported the procedural vote because it set up a vote on a bill he cosponsored to shield Maine's lobster industry from environmental regulations. According to Golden, Gluesenkamp Perez's district also has fishermen who would benefit from the legislation.
The House passed the Northeast Lobsterman Protection Act with 209 Republican votes and 10 Democratic votes. Separately, the chamber adopted a resolution condemning socialism, with 211 Republicans and eight Democrats in support, including Golden and Gluesenkamp Perez.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the mastheads we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
