House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) recently addressed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) by asking her when she will allow the lower chamber to return to business as usual.
In a letter to Pelosi on Wednesday, the California Republican asked her questions like when will proxy voting end, when will in-person committees return to work full time and when will visitors be allowed back to the People’s House.
