Pelosi Will Extend Proxy Voting

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is expected to extend proxy voting through the fall — and potentially until the end of the year, Axios reports.

“The spread of the Delta variant has alarmed both members and staffers anxious about interacting with the unvaccinated. Pelosi’s anticipated move — continuing an emergency COVID-19 measure enacted last year so lawmakers could vote remotely — is aimed at allaying those concerns.”
