"Senate GOP Expected To Force Vote on Green New Deal in March" [1]

"Senate Republicans will bring the Green New Deal resolution to the floor as they try to jam Democrats on the progressive proposal.
 
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of Senate GOP leadership, said that he expected Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) would bring the resolution up for a vote the week of March 25, when the Senate returns from its one-week recess.
 
“That’s my understanding,” he said."
