The proposal is to try to take up the house version of that bill
Opposition, despite the setbacks, some optimistics believe they can bridge the divide. Heres James Langford from last hour. This is a a no fail momen. My focus for weeks have been, lets get all the people who disagree and one room and hammer this out in one moment. For whatever reason, we have not been allowed to do that to get all the different factions into one room at one time. We have all been a nogo shady one at a time.
