Republicans brace for another floor vote loss.
House Republicans are pointing fingers at one another the day after a vote on the Patriot Act failed on their watch, and they’re already bracing for another embarrassing floor vote Wednesday.
GOP aides predict that the House will fail to pass a bill Wednesday that would retrieve money already paid to the United Nations — a rejection which would bring their legislative losses to three bills this week. The U.N. bill would return $179 million that was paid into the U.N. tax equalization fund.
But even with a 65-seat majority, Republicans are still blaming Democrats for their troubles.
