USA Today: Who are the 14 House Republicans who voted against a Juneteenth holiday? And why?
The House vote on Juneteenth passed by 415-14 for a new federal holiday, but 14 GOP members of Congress voted no. Who are they? Why did they vote no?
The Juneteenth bill now heads to President Biden’s desk for a signature. For those Republicans who voted no on it, Rachel Maddow says, “it’s the kind of vote that will stick to their shoe forever and smell up any room they ever walk into for the rest of their lives.”
