The House Freedom Caucus on Monday threatened to sink a motion to go to conference on the tax overhaul — a procedural move they had been pushing for — in an attempt to negotiate a longer stopgap funding bill to delink upcoming tax and spending deadlines.

But in the end, all but one member of the 36-member hard-line conservative caucus voted for the motion to go to conference after Chairman Mark Meadows had a conversation off the floor with Speaker Paul D. Ryan, and other caucus members huddled on the floor with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. Michigan Rep. Justin Amash was the only caucus member to vote against the motion, which was agreed to, 222-192.

The Freedom Caucus wants leadership to reconsider a two-week continuing resolution that the House is expected to vote on Wednesday and to push the stopgap funding date to Dec. 30, an option the GOP conference discussed during a closed-door meeting Friday.

“I don’t want to make any personal comments on my conversation with the speaker, but obviously, we had a long conversation as it relates to the CR and how important it is that we separate that from the tax reform debate,” Meadows said.
