The House will attempt to override President Trump's vetoes of two GOP-backed bills Thursday, a move that could showcase GOP division.
Veto override votes are standard procedure, and a matter of high privilege in the House that forces the vote. A White House official said the votes do not indicate any disunity between the White House and the House GOP.
But lawmakers may be inclined to break with the White House, seeking to appease their constituents back home and bolster their reelection prospects.
It also sets up a loyalty test for congressional Republicans, who can use the vote to register their support for the president.
