It will pass in the house and there will be republicans who vote for it and i think the u. S. Postal service broadly as an issue is something that members have been hearing about repeatedly over the course of the last several weeks from their constituents. In some cases hundreds of thousands of calls from constituents who have seen very real delays in their mail. Where the two issues and where the two parties have diverged is on the issue of election mail. You saw louis dejoy testify that he believes the Postal Service is fully capable of handling whatever comes its way, theyre expecting 10 million to 20 million more ballots because of the pandemic and republicans have labeled democratic concerns which theyve raised a l
One of yesterdays victims, luke letlow, newly elected house member. He was only 41 years old. He was supposed to be sworn in to his congressional seat sunday. Another grieving family, that of 18yearold sarah simental. She was supposed to graduate from her Illinois High School in a few months. Instead her family is planning her funeral.
