House GOP Allows Spending Earmarks, in Boost for Biden Plan
(Worthy News) – House Republicans voted to allow their members to request dedicated-spending projects, known as earmarks, following that same move by Democrats, in a positive sign for President Joe Biden’s hopes for a bipartisan infrastructure bill.
