Liberals' failure to win majority support for marquee legislation reveals Democrats' divisions
By Gabriella Muñoz - The Washington Times - Sunday, May 12, 2019
They are getting all the attention, but liberal lawmakers’ bills aren’t getting much love from fellow Democrats on Capitol Hill, where marquee liberal legislation is struggling to gain co-sponsors.
Indeed, if the Green New Deal and “Medicare for All†are liberal litmus tests, then Democrats are failing badly.
Neither bill has won even half of the House Democratic Caucus’ support, based on sponsorship. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s environmental overhaul has 93 co-sponsors, while the health bill fares slightly better at 108 co-sponsors.
