UPDATE: Devastating news. This dangerous bill passed 213-212, with @RepAOC @RashidaTlaib and @JamaalBowmanNY abandoning their positions and voting "present" instead of against it, thus supporting giving cops more money and weapons to use against the most vulnerable people.— Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec) May 20, 2021
There was already that pressure, because it wasn't clear it was going to pass, as it ultimately passed by 1 vote.
So yes, there was already as much pressure as there was going to be without a clear, very likely loss, where it would have been a lot less relevant anyway.
