I said in another post this would get interesting….
Tom Suozzi ‘s win has changed the playing field for House Republicans who had been content to just let aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan just languish….
Joe Biden IS STILL in a bad place….
House Republicans are planning to unveil a Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and border bill as an alternative to the border-free package that passed the Senate on Tuesday, a lawmaker leading the effort said Wednesday.
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) told reporters the proposed pathway could be revealed as early as Thursday — and that he will brief Speaker Mike Johnsonon its contents prior to its release. He said he is working with “a handful” of colleagues from both parties in the Senate and House, but declined to name names or give details of the proposal.
“Stay tuned in the next 24 hours, I think you’ll see something that I think will be bipartisan,” he said, adding he wasn’t sure if it would be a formal proposal from the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus. He co-chairs the group with Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.).
Fitzpatrick said Johnson claimed during Wednesday morning’s House GOP conference meeting that President Joe Biden would not meet with him on border security measures, reiterating comments made by Majority Leader Steve Scalise during a Tuesday interview with CNN.
“We were just told that the president will not sit down with him,” said the Pennsylvania centrist, who also co-chairs the Congressional Ukraine Caucus. “So it’s kind of hard to negotiate when the president won’t sit down with him.”…
Note…
I’m getting a sense of deja vie on this above….
McConnell and Speaker Borher badgered then President Obama to sit down with them so they could roll the Democratic President when they couldn’t make any headway with then Senate leader Harry Reid on immigration…
And deported a LOT of people making those on the left NOT happy ….
The Rpublican left Obamna out to dry on immigration anyways….
The Vice President watching this was none other that Joe Biden, the current President….
Is history going to repeat itself?
