House Republicans Furious after being left out of Camp David Pajama Party. Not the Onion. [View all]

House GOP leaders were furious with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) as more details emerged about the Camp David meeting snub that left Republican lawmakers blindsided, according to reports Tuesday.

The meetings over budget reconciliation apparently took place Monday and left out Rep. Blake Moore (R-UT) and Rep. Erin Houchin (R-IN), two members of leadership on the budget committee, NOTUS politics reporter Reese Gorman wrote in a post on X.

Some moderate Republicans have reportedly not been included in any talks about the third reconciliation bill, NOTUS reported.

"If they want to pass something, they gotta know how to count the 218," Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) told NOTUS. "So again, I haven’t seen anything."

"When some members who were left out of the Camp David meeting confronted Johnson about it, he said the session with administration officials was only a couple hours long, a source told NOTUS, though members later found out that some of the group actually spent the night at Camp David, leading to more anger," Gorman wrote.
