House Democrats have agreed to bring President Donald Trump's border supplemental request to the floor for a vote, according to a press release from Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy Wednesday.
Trump requested an emergency $4.5 billion border supplemental in May, which aims to help the humanitarian crisis at the border.
"From conversations I had today with Democratic House leadership and appropriators, I understand that earnest negotiations are underway to bring President Donald Trump's border supplemental request to the floor for a vote," Roy said according to a press release.
Roy has been outspoken about getting the Democratic House majority to put the border supplement to a vote.
Roy kept the House in session until 4 a.m. on June 13 trying to get the House to approve what he said would fix the migration crisis at the southern border, Dallas News reported.
Roy then forced a vote on a motion Tuesday in an attempt to push House Democrats into bringing the $4.5 billion bill to the floor, The Hill reported.
"While I remain skeptical we will get what is needed, I am encouraged my Democratic colleagues are finally taking the humanitarian crisis on our border seriously," the statement read. "We should have voted on and passed this supplemental last month after Director [Russ] Vought sent it to congressional leadership May 1. This supplemental is not for a border wall, but for humanitarian aid."
