The Rules Committee faced a similar change in leadership earlier this year after former Texas Rep. and chairman Michael Burgess decided to retire after the 2024 election. Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) was selected to replace him in January.<\/p>\n<p>During the 118th Congress, Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) was selected as the Appropriations Committee chairman to succeed former Texas Rep. Kay Granger last April. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) did not seek a waiver to remain the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) succeeded him in December.<\/p>\n<p>Garbarino will be tasked with implementing Republicans&rsquo; and President Donald Trump&rsquo;s immigration and border security agenda. The newly selected chairman will also be tasked with drafting a new version of H.R. 2, an aggressive immigration crackdown bill that passed the House but did not get called up for a vote in the Democrat-controlled Senate last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3478067\/epstein-drama-puts-key-house-votes-on-ice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">EPSTEIN DRAMA PUTS KEY HOUSE VOTES ON ICE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The New York Republican&rsquo;s selection is a win for centrist Republicans.
