First came immigration and D.C. crime. Now, a resolution ending the COVID national emergency. Some House Democrats are once again simmering over the White House's communications.
The White House and some in Congress argue the administration has been doing a better job looping in House Democrats recently.
Rep. Dean Phillips said he “probably wouldn’t have” changed his vote, telling Axios, “The issue wasn’t the specific date, the issue was giving enough time to make this transition.”The Senate voted 68-23 on Wednesday to pass the GOP-led resolution, with dozens of Democrats backing the measure afterA White House official confirmed Biden's plans, telling Axios that while he still "strongly opposes" the resolution, "If this bill comes to his desk ... he will sign it.
The statement argued the resolution is a "grave disservice to the American people" but didn't explicitly threaten a veto. The House voted days later to pass the resolution, with 11 Democrats voting for it and 197 Democrats voting against it.Rep. Dan Kildee , a member of Democratic leadership, told Axios.
"I never have any concern about being on the opposite side of the White House on a policy question," he said. "But the lack of clear information, the lack of clarity in messaging, it's not productive. It's very unhelpful."
