JUST IN: House passes $4.6B emergency funding bill to provide humanitarian aid to the southern border, sending the measure to President Trump's desk for signature.
WASHINGTON — After months of stalemate and a week of intense intraparty Democratic negotiations, the House of Representatives has passed a $4.6 billion emergency funding bill to provide resources and support for the influx of asylum seekers on the southern border, sending the measure to President Donald Trump's desk for his signature.
A turning point for Pelosi’s negotiation came Thursday afternoon when a group of moderate Democrats said they would no longer engage in negotiations and that they would only support the Senate-passed bill. Under no circumstances should the House vote for a McConnell-only bill w/ no negotiation with Democrats. Hell no.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez But the math proved too much for Pelosi to overcome and Democrats simply didn’t have the votes or the time to carry on with the impasse before the holiday week.
