Democratic State Rep. Gene Wu says, even if Republicans increase funding for schools and give teachers a raise, Democrats still wouldn’t support vouchers.
U.S. Rep. Beth Van Duyne tells Inside Texas Politics the party has been unnecessarily distracted over the last several daysAnd there’s no telling how long the Speakership fight might last, now that the most recent nominee, Congressman Steve Scalise dropped out after he couldn’t build enough support to receive the 217 votes needed to win on the House floor.
“We’ve got to get over it. There’s just too much on the table right now. I mean, you’re looking at what’s happening in Israel. You’re looking at what’s happening on our southern border. You’re looking at what’s happening in our pocketbooks. Those things have to be addressed,” Van Duyne told us onVan Duyne says Republicans have spent several days trying to figure out how to get the party united with so much business in front of them.
Van Duyne says she was in Israel last year with her son in one of the areas recently attacked by the terrorist group Hamas. And she says sending aid to Israel and improving security there and here at home are just a few of the pressing issues that must be addressed now. Keeping the federal government funded is another major issue looming on the horizon. And this has proven to be a divisive issue in Congress this year.
