But, he says, “Republicans have … played politics with this, now, for six months. I would hope that my colleagues don’t play politics with it either.”

Another HFC member non-committal on the rule: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna tells me “there are a few things that I want to see come to the floor, but I just think they’re going about this the whole wrong way.” https://t.co/qcD9BfrUO7
