Tears In the Oval Office

During an intense meeting at the White House on Wednesday, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) broke into tears while arguing her case to President Biden that the reconciliation bill should include a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, essential workers and farm workers, Politico reports.

A source in the room interpreted the tears as a sign that Jayapal was overwhelmed by the situation and “feeling the pressure.”
