With full Republican control of Washington, Republicans’ failure to deliver carries midterm consequences
Vulnerable House Republicans blew past a critical deadline to get 218 signatures on a discharge petition to force a vote on legislation to protect DREAMers. Their inexcusable failure came after many lofty promises from vulnerable House Republicans who they would deliver the signatures.
“House Republicans’ latest failure to deliver for DREAMers is made all the more inexcusable by their many empty promises that they would get the signatures and move on the discharge petition,” said DCCC Spokesperson Javier Gamboa. “If vulnerable members like Carlos Curbelo, Will Hurd, and Jeff Denham can’t get the job done with their party controlling all of Washington, they have no business serving in Congress.”
