What Happened Last Week?
Democrats tried to pass a similar resolution just days ago and came up agonisingly short. The vote ended in a 212 to 212 tie, with Golden voting against it and three Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Tom Barrett of Michigan, voting in favour. Several members were absent that day as well, including Reps. Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey and Frederica Wilson of Florida, both of whom have missed extended stretches of votes in recent weeks.
