The House will vote Thursday to override two vetoes by President Donald Trump of GOP-backed bills, according to three people granted anonymity to share scheduling plans not yet made public.
Barring any major, last-minute GOP defections, senior House Republicans and Democrats generally expect the chamber will approve the overrides in a rare rebuke of Trump — though leaders expect some Republicans who initially supported the bills to now fall in line with the president’s wishes.
Less clear is whether either override vote would have enough support in the Senate. It takes a two-thirds majority in both chambers to override a veto.
One of the bills Trump vetoed in December was endorsed by Florida’s Republican senators. That legislation, H.R. 504, would support the local Miccosukee Tribe, which has been at odds with the White House over the administration’s plans to build its “Alligator Alcatraz” immigrant detention center in the Everglades.
