House Republicans Prepare to Overrule Leadership, Push for Russia Sanctions Vote by Force
House Republicans threaten to force a chamber-wide vote on sanctioning Russia for its war in Ukraine after months of negotiations failed to produce an agreement, according to sources.
A pair of House Republicans are planning to push forward a chamber-wide vote on sanctioning Russia for its war in Ukraine, despite months of negotiations between the House, Senate, and White House. The move comes after House leadership gave the two lawmakers 'one last chance' to reach an agreement with Democrats. If the plan succeeds, it could lead to a full-fledged sanctions bill being brought up for a vote on the House floor. The proposal is seen as a significant development in the ongoing debate over how to hold Russia accountable for its actions in Ukraine.
