Will Democrats vote against it?
Juuuust not enough so that it passes.
Because the US is a one party state, except, with typical extravagance, they have two of them!
They're not gonna vote for it dude.
I'll be surprised if they don't. It seems there's always a few Dems that are willing to vote with Republicans to get their agenda passed.
They've already voted against it like 3 times.
When it was stand-alone legislation. This time they attached it as a rider to very popular legislation.
Which will be removed by the Senate before being sent back to the House, if not stripped out by the Parliamentarian before that. It's not going to have 60 votes to overcome the filibuster and the House Republicans know it.
It's political theater so they can tell their mommy and daddy, Mike Johnson and Trump, that they tried.
