The House meets Thursday morning to consider the “Phase 3.5” coronavirus bill and a measure to establish a select committee on coronavirus oversight – amid concerns from some lawmakers over the safety of in-person voting.
Fox News is told not to expect votes in the House until noon. The House will likely remain in session until about 4 p.m. ET, if not later.
There could be multiple votes on the floor: one procedural (ordering the previous question), the “rule” for the select committee, adoption of the resolution of the select committee and then passage of the coronavirus legislation.
Expect many Republicans to oppose the select committee. There will be some bipartisan opposition to the coronavirus bill. But Fox is told it is expected to pass overwhelmingly.
