As House Republicans repeatedly pressure senators to change a reconciliation bill House lawmakers already had a chance to shape, some Republicans in the upper chamber are getting frustrated.
“I think it’s kind of a hollow argument,” Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, a member of Republican leadership, told NOTUS. “They’re entitled to their opinion. I don’t think it’s influencing our decision in terms of what we’re going to do.”
Capito mentioned how some members have said they might not support the measure over certain provisions, and imitated them by saying, “‘Oh, this guy’s not going to vote for it, we got to change that,’” summoning some of the feelings senators have had about the process.
