(Worthy News) – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday that the House will pass a resolution to cancel President Donald Trump’s emergency declaration to secure funds for a border wall.
Pelosi, D-Calif., and other Democrats including Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, who introduced the privileged resolution H.J.Res. 46, held a press conference calling on lawmakers in the Senate to also pass the resolution in order to “defend our democracy.”
