Nine House Republicans joined all 213 Democrats Tuesday to keep alive a bill that would allow lawmakers who are new parents to cast proxy votes for three months after their child’s birth.

GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who left the House Freedom Caucus over its opposition to her push for remote voting for new parents, accused some members of the conservative group of holding Speaker Mike Johnson “hostage” over the matter and acting “disingenuous.

Luna co-sponsored a bipartisan measure to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely around the birth of their child. Some conservatives are trying to stop it.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) says she and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) are discussing possible paths out of the clash over proxy voting for new parents that has brought the House to a halt,

Johnson said Trump is letting him take the lead in deciding how to proceed with Luna's new parent proxy voting bill, a day after Trump backed Luna.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is scrambling to break the impasse over the push to allow proxy voting for new parents, as the standoff between GOP leadership and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) hardens.
