These members, Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, voted to bring a package of bills to the House floor, including a resolution denouncing socialism and the Democratic Socialists of America-actions that surprised leadership and are rare procedural defections within the party. Jeffries has tasked the Democratic Caucus Rules Committee with reviewing the situation and has not yet decided on any disciplinary actions.The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >situation raised tensions amid ongoing disputes<\/a> in the House, especially as GOP hard-liners threaten to paralyze the chamber. The caucus is considering rules changes to prevent future defections, though details remain unclear. jeffries aims to address the matter in upcoming discussions with Democratic leaders.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Minority Leader <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hakeem-jeffries\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"790\">Hakeem Jeffries<\/a> (D-NY) told reporters Wednesday that leadership has not ruled out stripping the two centrist <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democrats\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"249\">Democrats<\/a> who broke with leadership on Tuesday of their committee assignments. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe haven\u2019t ruled anything in,\u201d Jeffries said. \u201cWe haven\u2019t ruled anything out because it\u2019s a process, and we\u2019re going to follow that process.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4710845\/nicole-malliotakis-aide-struck-by-lightning\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Malliotakis aide uninjured after being struck by lightning in New York<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4710804\/ralph-norman-lone-vote-chuck-edwards-censure\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Ralph Norman explains why he was the lone vote against Chuck Edwards censure<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4710815\/jeffries-weighing-kicking-centrist-democrats-bucked-him-off-committees\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Jeffries won\u2019t rule out kicking off committees centrist Democrats who backed condemning socialism<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reps.
