House Dems are scrambling to nail down the votes for an eleventh-hour push to extend the federal eviction moratorium. This will probably be the House’s final task before the departing for its lengthy August recess.
But Pelosi and leadership team are now in their second day of aggressive whipping on the moratorium extension, struggling to win over a group of entrenched holdouts that includes moderates who say the extension shouldn’t go beyond Sept. 30.
