House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA) said “team players” should get top committee spots after Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) bucked Democratic leadership for the second time this month by crossing the aisle on a party-line vote.

“The American people know we’re focused on them and that means we need team players who are all in on driving down the costs for Americas and it’s team players, people who are helping our caucus be successful on behalf of the American people, who should be sitting on exclusive committees,” Clark responded when asked if the two defections should be able to sit on exclusive committees.
