The House voted 222-204  to remove the deadline for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the Constitution. Members then voted 244-172 to reauthorize and update the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which expired in 2019. Twenty-nine Republicans joined all Democrats in voting “yes” for VAWA’s reauthorization. Members also approved three suspension bills debated earlier in the week, including one that extends until March 27, 2022, coronavirus pandemic bankruptcy relief provisions in the CARES Act. Another awards three congressional gold medals to the United States Capitol Police and those who protected the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. close
