Pulling A Late Night

Before House Republicans jet for August Recess, they want to get that vote on the child migrant crisis.

But Republicans, who have estimated votes to start at 8:00 or 8:30 p.m. and finish around 11:00 p.m. ET, are showing the world that they’re working hard on this problem. The question is if enough people who believe it are watching.
