A small group of House Democrats is trying to push Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to vote on a bill to extend federal unemployment benefits that expired in late July.
They called on Pelosi and also House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), urging them to hold a vote on Saturday to extend the unemployment benefits when the chamber reconvenes to vote on funding the U.S. Postal Service, according to a letter sent to Pelosi and other Democrats.
