A senior White House official said in a statement assisting Massie and liberal Democrats would be viewed as a hostile act toward the administration’s efforts.

Massie secured signatures from House Republicans Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, leaving him just two shy of the required two hundred eighteen.

He said a major pressure campaign from the White House and the Speaker aims to block his effort, but he remains confident in gaining support.
