Effort to Override Wolf’s Veto Fails

Members of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives voted on a measure to override Gov. Wolf’s emergency declaration.

The measure needed a two-thirds majority (135 votes) to override the veto. 118 ‘yes’ votes were cast so the measure to override the veto did not pass.

The governor’s veto is sustained.

Here’s a link to the roll call of votes. Every Republican House member voted ‘yes’ to override the veto.

Below is footage of a Capitol press event with the PA House Republican leaders to announce the reasoning for the attempt to override the veto.
