House Speaker Mike Johnson called the outcome "disappointing," adding that a "handful of Republicans joined with all the Democrats to take down a rule — that's rarely done" The bipartisan bill would allow new parents to designate a colleague to vote for them for 12 weeks after they or their spouse gives birth.

Johnson and other Republicans have opposed proxy voting, arguing that it's unconstitutional.
