During the six-hour deliberation in the Rules Committee, Democrats tried to drive votes on amendments associated to the soon-to-expire Obamacare subsidies that had been expanded during the COVID-19 period. That effort failed, even though Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8), who isn’t a member of the Rules Committee, made an look to plead for his modification to prolong those subsidies for an extra three years. 

Jeffries was denied, but there have been loads of other shenanigans before the invoice was finally accepted on a 8-4 vote. 

The prolonged listening to noticed members on reverse sides of the aisle conflict a number of instances as properly, with Democrats repeatedly accusing Republicans of robbing Americans of their healthcare and taking a “vacation” for a number of weeks while remaining in their districts during the shutdown. 

“I am sick and tired of hearing you all say we had an eight-week vacation,” House Rules Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., said at one level. “I worked every day. I don’t know about you. I don’t want to hear another soul say that.”

(Will Democrats ever study it is not sensible to lock horns with the formidable Virginia Foxx?)

The invoice now goes before your entire House for a procedural “rule vote” that permits the chamber to debate the laws. It’s anticipated that the amended CR will move the House and transfer on to President Trump’s desk for his signature. “We’ll be opening up our country very quickly,” the president said when requested if he helps the invoice.
