US EditionAP: These bipartisan bills were noncontroversial — until Trump vetoed them
Trump vetoed bipartisan bills on a Colorado water pipeline and Florida tribal land control, citing cost and immigration policy concerns amid political retaliation claims.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump issued the first vetoes of his second term, rejecting two bipartisan bills to finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act and give the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida more control over eastern Colorado lands.
- The White House cited the Miccosukee Tribe’s opposition to an Everglades detention facility and pipeline cost concerns, and the vetoes had the effect of punishing backers who opposed Trump on Epstein-file votes this year.
- Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-CO, who supported Epstein file release this year, suggested the veto may be `political retaliation` and posted `This isn’t over,` while Rep. Jeff Hurd, Colorado, called the water bill bipartisan and expressed disappointment.
- Congress can attempt an override by a two-thirds vote in both chambers, but with Republican-controlled chambers and midterms approaching, support remains uncertain; Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-FL, and the Miccosukee Tribe were not immediately available for comment on Wednesday.
- The vetoes could reshape GOP relationships with lawmakers and carry implications for override attempts as the midterm election year approaches; the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida is suing over the Everglades detention center nicknamed `Alligator Alcatraz`.
