Following its unveiling, the legislation severely damaged GOP support, forcing Johnson to postpone a vote on it last week.
According to several individuals who talked with News on Tuesday, the House GOP leadership’s efforts over the weekend to win over Republican bill opponents were mainly ineffective.
It’s anticipated that at least twelve Republican legislators will vote no on the legislation. The GOP has low hopes because a four-seat majority and strong Democratic opposition are anticipated.
That is to say. One House Republican told Fox that it “buys us a week of arguing over illegal immigrants.”
A Republican legislator commented, “They’re basically at the point where they need to say they ran the play – call folks RINOs, let the Freedom Caucus folks say ‘shut it all down’ and then just wait for Senate to jam us.”
“Didn’t have the votes last week and can’t imagine that changing this week,” they stated.
“Congress has an immediate obligation to do two things: responsibly fund the federal government and ensure the security of our elections,” stated Johnson in a statement. We will vote on the 6-month CR with the SAVE Act attached on Wednesday because we owe this to our citizens.
