House refuses to override vetoes as Republicans stick by Trump

[In It to Win It]

The House on Thursday failed to override two of President Trump's vetoes of bipartisan bills, with Republicans largely sticking by the president to uphold his decision to block the legislation.

Both bills initially passed the House and Senate unanimously. Thursday's votes required a two-thirds majority to override the vetoes, but both fell significantly short.

One of the pieces of legislation would have given the Miccosukee Tribe more control over a portion of the Florida Everglades, and the second would have funded a water pipeline in southeast Colorado. The president vetoed both in December.

The vote to override Mr. Trump's veto of the Florida bill was 236 in favor to 188 opposed. The vote on the veto of the Colorado bill was 248 to 177.

3. the republicans voting to override it are the losers here

...obviously driven to support the legislation because of political considerations back home.

Don't go to sleep on the fraught politics of standing with Trump for House republicans who are barely holding onto their seats andtheir majority.
