Rep. Chris Stewart is taking his final bow in Congress ahead of what is shaping up to be a tumultuous autumn.
Lawmakers are fighting over government funding to avoid a shutdown. At the same time, the House GOP is moving forward with an impeachment inquiry over the business dealings of President Joe Biden’s family members.
“Chris Stewart’s early retirement will make the narrow Republican majority even narrower, and in the coming weeks, Stewart’s and other Republican absences could have a major impact on what passes the House, effectively giving as few as two or three Republicans the power to block legislation, since House Speaker Kevin McCarthy usually likes to pass bills on a partisan basis,” Delaney says.
Stewart’s absence could be felt most acutely during negotiations to pass a funding bill since he holds a seat on the influential appropriations committee.“A lot of the agenda for Congress is already baked in,” Stokes says. “I think Congressman Stewart thought this through so as not to leave Utah in the lurch.”
“There’s always some crisis looming, and every vote is important,” Chaffetz, author of the recent New York Times bestselling book “Chaffetz, now a commentator for Fox News, says Stewart gave congressional leaders plenty of notice that he would leave.
