Conversation
For a decent amount of time during the vote, there were 9 no's. and I watched in the chamber as several of those members slowly changed their votes to yeses as the vote went on: Paul Gosar, Chip Roy, Andy Biggs, Ralph Norman, and at the last minute, Steve King.
Yoho tells just now that he opposed it because he believes itβs an βoverreach of the federal governmentβ and would infringe on states' rights.

Why am I not surprised that King is one of the βnoβ votes!
