Trump supports proxy voting for new moms in Congress: 'I don't know why it's controversial'

President Trump expressed support for Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's proposal to allow new parents in the House to vote by proxy during the first three months after childbirth. Despite House Speaker Mike Johnson's opposition to proxy voting, the bill moves forward with bipartisan backing. Luna, who recently became a mother, thanked Trump for his endorsement, emphasizing that proxy voting should be an emergency measure to ensure constituent representation. Johnson's failure to stop the bill has led to a cancellation of House votes for the week.

I'm in favor of that, but I understand some people aren't.

Thank you @realDonaldTrump @POTUS for supporting a pro-family Congress.
