President Biden vetoed legislation passed by the GOP controlled U.S. House that was introduced by Scalise and his majority leader Kevin McCarthy. The President vetoed the legislation because it jeopardizes the hard earned life savings of cops, firefighters, teachers and other workers according to White House spokesperson Robyn Patterson. The legislation would have reinstated a Trump era ban on federal managers of retirement plans considering factors such as climate change, social impacts or pending lawsuits when making investment choices.
The House failed in its attempt to overide the President's veto and once again it demonstrates why Nancy Pelosi was such a highly regarded and capable speaker of the U.S. House. Nancy has political understanding, something necessary and needed to govern. It is something Scalise and the GOP lack and why they are trying to reverse legislation approved previously by the Biden administration.
And yes, Nancy Pelosi is still a better woman than Scalise and the GOP are men. And that really says it all.
