A GOP-sponsored bill to provide disaster relief funding to states affected by hurricanes, wildfires, and other natural disasters failed to secure the necessary votes to advance to a final floor vote.
as the House provided in its version of the disaster relief bill, which the lower chamber passed in a 237-187 vote in January. That bill would provide $14.2 billion in emergency aid, including $703 million for Medicaid and nutrition assistance to Puerto Rico.
“To my colleagues across the aisle who have been spending a lot of time in Iowa lately as presidential candidates, if you vote against moving forward with the Shelby amendment, how are you going to look Iowans in the eye and justify a vote against moving this disaster relief bill ahead?” Grassley said.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., wrote in an op-ed published Monday in the New York Daily News that Senate Republicans were not taking action on the House-passed bill because the president believed it contained too much assistance for Puerto Rico.
