Two House Democrats Break With Party on Vote to Advance Russia Sanctions Bill
- Two moderate House Democrats, Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, voted with Republicans to pass a procedural rule advancing a Russia sanctions bill, defying House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' leadership and risking the bill's failure.
- Golden and Gluesenkamp Perez justified their votes by citing overwhelming bipartisan support in the Senate and their desire to support Ukraine by cutting off Russian oil funding the war.
- Jeffries condemned their votes as a significant breach of trust and requested the Committee on Caucus Rules to respond to their actions.
- The two Democrats' break from party ranks angered fellow Democrats and raised concerns about Jeffries' ability to maintain control over his caucus if Democrats regain the House.
