U.S. House Republicans are voting against the $3 trillion Heroes Act, which would help aid COVID-19 responses in the nation.
Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Montana) has recently joined other Republicans and said in a statement he would be voting against the bill, according to Billings Gazette.
“Republicans and Democrats worked together with President Trump on previous measures to support the American people during the COVID-19 outbreak," Gianforte said in his statement. "We worked together on the CARES Act to help American workers, families, small businesses, and health care providers. That didn’t happen with Nancy Pelosi’s partisan, $3 trillion, 1,800-page liberal wish list. Montanans shouldn’t pay for the property taxes of coastal elites in high-tax states. The federal government shouldn’t send rebate checks to illegal immigrants. And Montana businesses, desperate to reopen, shouldn’t have to compete with expansive unemployment benefits that run through next spring. This is no CARES Act. It’s careless."
Gianforte is currently running for Montana governor and has been seen as a favorite Republican candidate.
