Senate GOP expected to force vote on Green New Deal in March

 

Senate Republicans will bring the Green New Deal resolution to the floor as they try to jam Democrats on the progressive proposal.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of Senate GOP leadership, said that he expected Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) would bring the resolution up for a vote the week of March 25, when the Senate returns from its one-week recess.

“That’s my understanding,” he said.

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), another member of GOP leadership, said he also thought the proposal would be brought up for a vote that week.

A spokesman for McConnell said he didn’t have an announcement on timing for the Senate’s vote but that the GOP leader has said it will take place during the upcoming work period.

The Senate is expected to leave town by Friday for a one-week recess. They’ll then return on March 25 and remain until April 12, when they’ll leave for two weeks.
