Two more Republicans signed a petition on Thursday to force a House vote on a series of immigration bills, leaving petitioners just a few votes shy of a majority needed to trigger a debate and vote.
Supporters of the petition now number 212, after Reps. Tom Reed, R-N.Y., and Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., signed it Thursday. Several Democrats also signed it Thursday, including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Steny Hoyer, D-M.D.
