Then it’s up to the Senate Republicans to carry Trump’s water OR for him to veto it himself which will not be a good look at all.

“I’m certain the House vote will succeed,” Massie said in an interview. “Some Republican members who are not signers of the petition have told me they will vote for the measure when the vote is called. I suspect there will be many more.”
He added, “I even wonder if Speaker Johnson might advise politically vulnerable members to vote for it.”
