House to vote on $28 million in emergency funding to address baby formula shortage
CNN
The House of Representatives is expected to vote on a pair of bills on Wednesday aimed at addressing a nationwide baby formula shortage, an issue that has sparked outcry across the country and put pressure on lawmakers to act.
The bills, put forward by House Democrats, are expected to be approved in the Democratic-led chamber. Their fate is unclear in the Senate, however. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer indicated on Wednesday that lawmakers will try to pass something in the Senate through a unanimous consent request, which could be blocked by the objection of any single senator.
"We hope no one will block it, it's such an immediate need," Schumer said.
