House GOP leaders face a pivotal test Tuesday as they try to break a conservative revolt that has paralyzed the House floor for weeks, with several dozen Republicans leading the charge against key legislative priorities, including repealing certain COVID-19-related laws and overturning President Biden's executive actions on issues like student loan debt.
