"The House will vote Thursday to override two vetoes by President Donald Trump of GOP-backed bills, according to three people granted anonymity to share scheduling plans not yet made public.
And barring any major, last-minute GOP defections, senior House Republicans and Democrats generally expect the chamber will approve the overrides in a rare rebuke of Trump — though leaders expect some Republicans who initially supported the bills to now fall in line with Trump’s wishes.
Less clear is whether either override vote would have enough support in the Senate, but one of the bills Trump vetoed in December was endorsed by Florida’s Republican senators. The underlying legislation would support the local Miccosukee Tribe, which has been at odds with the White House over the administration’s plans to build its “Alligator Alcatraz” immigrant detention center.
The other bill Trump scuttled last month would fund a water infrastructure project in Colorado, which is currently ensnared in the president’s fight with the state’s Congressional delegation over cuts to a climate center in the state."
