House GOP cancels VA overhaul vote again

House Republicans narrowly defeated a motion that would have sent the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act back to committee but has struggled to build support for its counter to a looming discharge petition to advance another bill aimed at increasing veterans’ benefits. House Republicans for the second time in as many months canceled a vote on legislation overhauling some VA benefits and operations reportedly due to concerns for how the measure is paid for.
