Senators crossed the aisle in a letter to Senate Appropriations Committee chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and ranking member Richard Shelby, R-Ala., expressing “support for the Hyde Amendment.”
Wicker and Manchin noted the amendment "has been included in annual appropriations bills on a bipartisan basis since 1976" and has been a "decades-long, consensus-building compromise" before calling for its inclusion in the budget.
