He continued,” While this system is far from ideal, it is still a step forward.” ” I’m hopeful that we can advance this problem and provide for our constituents by working in a bipartisan and parliamentary manner.”

A portion of the significant climate policy that Democrats passed and President Joe Biden signed last year would be repealed by the bill. Gonzalez cast a vote in favor of that policy.
H. R. 1 will be vetoed by Biden, according to the White House, who called it a” thinly veiled licence to foul” on Monday.
