President Trump endorsed a bipartisan proposal to allow proxy voting for new parents in Congress, a move that contradicts Speaker Mike Johnson's efforts to prevent it. Trump emphasized the need for new parents to participate in voting even after welcoming a child. Representative Anna Paulina Luna has been advocating this change since her own experience last year and has successfully used a discharge petition to push for this measure, challenging Johnson's authority and creating tension within the Republican leadership.
President Trump expressed his support for proxy voting for new parents in Congress, stating, 'You're having a baby, you should be able to call in and vote.'
Lesley Luna spearheaded the movement for remote voting, emphasizing that there is no parental leave from the voting duties of lawmakers.
