Johnson cancels House votes, says move wasn’t Massie related, members leave early for 7-week recess
The move comes as the midterm elections ramp up and lawmakers get ready to fight for their own political future.
House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday ended voting at the end of the day and sent lawmakers home one day earlier than the scheduled start of their seven-week departure from Capitol Hill to campaign for the November midterm elections.
GOP House leaders insisted their decision was not related to outgoing Kentucky Republican GOP Rep. Thomas Massie’s legislative maneuver Tuesday to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

Staffers for House GOP leadership staffers indicated in a notice to members that other votes expected Thursday – including the overturning of some EPA regulations, would now take place Wednesday evening. The House could also vote on holding hedge fund mogul Leon Black in contempt of Congress over his refusal to testify in the Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation, according to NBC News.
