Liberals’ Proxy Voting Push Allows ‘4.5% of Congress ...Decide What Bill Gets Passed,’ McCarthy Says

Democrats passed proxy voting in their fourth coronavirus recovery bill on Friday. "Instead of 435 [people] representing districts across the nation... 20 people control all of Congress," says House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, referring to the effect of the Democrats' proxy voting push.

"Each member can call up to 10 proxies," McCarthy tells The Daily Signal Podcast. "So if the Democrats have 20 people, all holding 10 proxies, they can pass any bill." He adds, "This is about bringing back the voice of the American public. ... Now that voice isn’t even being heard because just 20 people decide what passes and doesn’t."
