House Republicans approved their rules package for the next Congress on Thursday afternoon in a closed-door meeting, salvaging an agreement that was drafted earlier this week but was in peril just hours before the conference voted on it.

GOP lawmakers finalized their conference rules, which dictate how the House Republican Conference can operate in the next Congress, after two days of negotiations. Negotiations between lawmakers in the centrist Main Street Caucus and the conservative Freedom Caucus resulted in Republicans dropping rule proposals to punish members who threaten to disrupt legislative business.
