House Will Vote Today to Condemn Trump's 'Racist Comments'
July 16, 2019 at 7:38 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
The House on Tuesday will vote on a disapproval resolution condemning President Trumps racist comments in which he said that a group of freshmen congresswomen of color should go back where they came from,
NBC News reports.
The resolution twice refers to racist comments from Trump but it does not call the president a racist.
Playbook: Republicans now have to vote on whether they approve of Trumps comments. Most are likely to stick with Trump, even while they say privately hes a boor for thinking and voicing these thoughts. It will be very instructive to see whether Republicans like Rep. Paul Mitchell (R-MI), a member of House GOP leadership who has criticized Trump over the tweets, end up voting with Democrats. Monday evening, senior Republicans told us they expected 10 or fewer Republicans would vote to condemn Trump.
The vote is expected around 7 p.m. ET.
