Breaking: The House approved $4.5 billion to ease the humanitarian crisis at the southern border, delivering a hard-fought victory to Speaker Nancy Pelosi
The House on Tuesday approved billions of dollars to ease the humanitarian crisis at the southern border, delivering a hard-fought victory to Speaker Nancy Pelosi after several days of battling with her caucus’ left flank.
Three Republicans — Reps. Will Hurd , Chris Smith and Brian Fitzpatrick — voted in favor of the bill, despite GOP leaders' repeated attacks on Democrats for their handling of the issue and a Trump veto threat. The Washington state Democrat announced that Democratic leaders and progressives had reached a deal on the latest changes just moments after stepping off the House floor Tuesday afternoon, where she had huddled with Pelosi for several minutes.Sign Up
“I cannot believe that Democrats would not vote for this bill,” Watson Coleman said in an interview. "And that was my message.” "The president would love for this bill to go down today," Pelosi told the caucus as she urged support, according to a senior Democratic aide. At one point, Pelosi asked lawmakers, “Does anyone have a problem with the bill?" the aide said. No one responded aloud.
