DORAL, Fla. — House Republicans are getting ready to shut down the Senate’s housing bill, which could get a vote in the upper chamber as soon as this week.
Two House Republicans told NOTUS that leadership’s message to their conference at their policy retreat in Florida this week was to oppose the Senate bill, which varies from the version passed by the House in February, because they feel shut out of the negotiations.
“If the Senate thinks we’re going to take this medicine, we’re not,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise told members, according to one of the House Republicans granted anonymity to speak about closed-door meetings.
