GOP Scuttles Plan to Undermine Reconciliation Bill

“House Republicans on Friday abandoned a plan to prime a constitutional challenge against Democrats’ $740 billion tax, climate and health care bill,” Axios reports.

“The plan was to have enough Republicans proxy vote to deny Democrats a physical quorum and open the door for a legal challenge to the legitimacy of the bill – and the validity of proxy voting.”

“The plan fell about 20 members short and members at the Capitol were told they could vote in-person.”
