• Speaker Kevin McCarthy's position has been weakened by tensions with other top Republicans and the threat of a vote to remove him, even as he remakes the Speaker's office.
• Key members like Reps. Garret Graves, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Chip Roy have shaped the House GOP agenda, sometimes complicating McCarthy's plans.
• Moderate backlash within the conference has stalled some conservative priorities.
• The House GOP has just seven weeks left to introduce a bill to raise the debt ceiling, but they have yet to agree on a framework of spending cuts and reforms to demand in exchange.
