Primary Time!: House Narrowly Passes ICE Funding Bill With Democratic Support After Jeffries Declined To Whip Against It
A bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security narrowly passed the House on Thursday, 220-207.
While House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) opposed the latest DHS funding bill, he did not whip his conference against it, according to The American Prospect. Citing two congressional sources, the publication reported on Wednesday that leadership was “recommending” that members vote against the legislation, but was not engaged in an active whipping campaign.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) was the lone Republican to vote against the bill. Four Republicans did not vote.
The seven Democrats who voted in favor were Reps. Henry Cuellar (TX), Don Davis (NC), Laura Gillen (NY), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA), Jared Golden (ME), Vicente Gonzalez (TX), and Tom Suozzi (NY).
