As we told you in the other post, House bill HR 1044 passed overwhelmingly in the House, despite being opposed by the Trump administration as well as immigration organizations like NumbersUSA and FAIR.
The roll call is out and here’s who voted with Democrats on this bill. I would list them here but honestly it’s just too tedious because there’s just so many of them. 140 to be exact. Check them out at the link. Some of the names might surprise you.
Since I can’t list the Republicans who voted with Democrats, here’s the 57 Republicans that didn’t vote with Democrats:
Abraham Aderholt Allen Arrington Bergman Biggs Brooks (AL) Burchett Burgess Carter (GA) Cheney Cloud Collins (GA) Conaway Davidson (OH) DesJarlais Duffy Duncan Dunn |
Ferguson Fortenberry Foxx (NC) Gohmert Gosar Graves (LA) Green (TN) Grothman Harris Higgins (LA) Hudson Huizenga Hunter Johnson (LA) Johnson (SD) Joyce (PA) Kelly (MS) King (IA) Kustoff (TN) Loudermilk |
Marchant McClintock Meadows Mooney (WV) Norman Palmer Posey Rogers (AL) Rooney (FL) Roy Scalise Sensenbrenner Smith (NE) Steube Walker Webster (FL) Wright Yoho |
If you don’t see their names on the list above then they voted for it. Like Crenshaw and Jordan, just to name a couple. A lot of familiar names voted against it, but not nearly enough.
In fact with this many Republican votes the House could easily override a Trump veto. It’s up to the Senate to make or break this bill.
If Trump commits to vetoing this bill, the Senate will need 67 votes. If it doesn’t get it, the bill is dead.
But in the unlikely event that Trump decides not to veto it, a simply majority will send this bill to his desk.
