The House of Representatives is prepared to take up votes that will override two of President Donald Trump’s vetoes on Thursday, which will test whether Republicans can and will break from the president’s agenda.
In the first two vetoes of his second term, Trump rejected the Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act, which affects Colorado, and the Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act, which affects Florida. The president said he rejected the Colorado bill to curtail “taxpayer handouts” and vetoed the Florida bill because it benefits “special interests.”
