Fox News
U.S. Rep. Cori Bush said late Friday she plans to spend the night on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to protest the impending end of the coronavirus eviction moratorium.
She posted a photo of herself with fellow progressive Democratic Reps. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. She said she had written to other Democrats, inviting them to join her on the stairs and claimed more people were showing up in Saturday’s predawn hours. Pressley and Omar both posted supportive tweets, saying "We are here!" and "We've got you, Sis." Earlier she tweeted, "Many of my Democratic colleagues chose to go on vacation early today rather than staying to vote to keep people in their homes. I’ll be sleeping outside the Capitol tonight. We’ve still got work to do."More Related News
