“There are still a few folks who don’t like it,” Roy said. “Democrats desperately want to turn the lights off to stop Elon and DOGE because they know the American people are now getting a glimpse under the hood.”

He raised concerns that Democrats could take advantage of internal GOP divisions to secure substantial concessions, given that Republicans can only afford to lose one vote if all lawmakers are present. With Republicans holding a slim 218-214 majority in the House, losing even two votes to the Democrats would result in a tie, preventing any decision from being reached.
