It will be passed via reconciliation once Dick Durbin returns to work from COVID unless some Republicans come on board (like that is going to happen…not)
What is really pathetic, that in retaliation for this agreement, the Republicans blocked the vote on the Honoring our Pact Act which extended veteran health benefits to those exposed to chemicals such as Agant Orange and stuff produced in burn pits. This bill passed the Senate just a couple of weeks ago with 84 votes. One line had to be changed for House purposes. One line, that did not change the bill but was needed to clear House rules. And a couple of weeks later, the Republicans play petty politics and block it. Veterans are dying of cancer due to these exposures and Senate Republicans choose this bill to prove to the world that they don’t give a damn about their lives. It’s all about partisan politics
