Several dozen House Republicans joined all Democrats in rejecting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) bid to stall final passage of the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus package.

The procedural tactic failed by a 235–149 vote as 40 GOP lawmakers joined the Democrats to vote against her motion to adjourn. Greene had decried the stimulus legislation on March 9 as a “woke progressive Blue State Bailout.”
