House Democrats face internal conflict over "incredibly stupid" forced vote
""people were extremely frustrated last week""
""very pissed""
""Representative García's actions are beneath the dignity of his office and incompatible with the spirit of the United States Constitution,""
""If I know I'm going to get done then I should get done so that there is time and space for people to make the decision to offer their name. ... Every day that I now wait is taking time away from someone else," he said."
House Democratic leadership intends to move to table Gluesenkamp Perez's two-page resolution when it is considered Monday evening. The measure disapproves of Representative García dropping his reelection bid shortly before the state's filing deadline, which left his chief of staff, Patty García, as the only candidate on the primary ballot. García has said he withdrew at the last minute for health and family reasons. Several centrist Democrats signaled possible support for Gluesenkamp Perez and criticized García's timing. Frustration within the caucus grew after the vote was triggered before passage of a government funding bill, raising concerns about intra-party conflict ahead of other expected votes.
