Washington, D.C. – E be like say wetin suppose happen for Congress no go flow well as House members dey hold everybody up with their voting drama. One big bill wey dem dey call Trump’s megabill dey waka enter wahala territory.
See ehn, Rep. Warren Davidson, wey be from Ohio, don change him mind about the bill as him don announce say him go support am today. Just last month, na him and him paddy, Rep. Thomas Massie from Kentucky, dey among those wey no gree support am. Davidson talk am like say, “Dis bill no perfect, but na wetin we fit run with; e get some ogbonge things inside wey I like.” (Chai, e be like say him don enter the groove na.)
As the clock dey tick, House dey open vote wey don pass four hours. E no mean say the lawmakers dey read Bible o, but dem dey try make sure say dem gather enough support from conservative members wey dey hold their ground like say dem dey catch cold.
Dem president of House, Mike Johnson, dey gally gally with Republican members to convince dem make dem vote yes for the bill. Wetin dem dey stand for? Border security, tax policy, work requirements for food stamps, and some other provisions. E no easy to please everybody, sha (‘na wey we dey call politics’).
Meanwhile, Rep. Massie, the lone voice wey no gree align with Trump for this matter, dey sleep well for night as e dey rake in $400,000 from people wey support am. E don begin pose like him dey do modeling for TV, saying “I no dey fear wetin Trump go do for me after dis.” (This one na confidence level 100, abeg!)
House is still dey face roadblock as some of dem members still dey waka in and out of Speaker’s office, dey seek solution wey fit balance everything. Meanwhile, some Republicans wey don show up late after dem miss first round of votes, dey rush come, trying to meet up with the situation. Weather no dey help matter too; wahala no dey small.
North Carolina Governor, Josh Stein, don join the party too as him don tell him state lawmakers make dem “press pause” for the bill, claiming say e go cause wahala for Medicaid and food stamp programs for di people of North Carolina. E b like say everybody don dey speak dem mind like dem dey gossiper for corner shop.
As matter dey unfold, Speaker Johnson dey hopeful sey dem fit finish this vote by night but we all know say nothing wey involve Congress dey ever fit run like that. Just ask yourself, when last you see dem agree finish without drama? Na true wahala we dey watch for this voting.
