House Democrats are looking to add a provision requiring the United States Capitol to remove busts of controversial historical figures, including a handful of known supporters of the Confederacy, from the building to a spending bill designed to fund the legislative branch.
The Hill reports that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and a team of Democratic leaders unveiled the measure Monday and will bring the bill, which otherwise authorizes Congress to spend money on infrastructure, staffing, and other necessary items of upkeep, to a vote on Friday.
