House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced that the period in the House of Representatives allowing members to vote via proxy will be extended to July 3.

The current proxy voting period, established last year during the start of the pandemic caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus—otherwise known as the novel coronavirus—was slated to expire this Wednesday.
