GOP House Members Vote Against Making Juneteenth A Federal Holiday, Citing Further ‘Racial Division’ In The Country

A group of Republican lawmakers voted against making June 19, known as “Juneteenth,” a federal holiday after the bill passed the Senate earlier this week. 

As The Daily Wire previously reported, the Senate unanimously passed a bill Tuesday that would make “Juneteenth” a federal holiday. The act is called the “Juneteenth National Independence Day Act” and would designate the day as a “legal public holiday.”
