Republicans say Democrats are refusing to work with them on legislation in order to snub vulnerable members ahead of 2020
During the last two sessions of Congress, Democrat Bobby Rush and Republican Richard Hudson introduced legislation together to improve workforce-training programs.

“Now that Rep. Rush is chairman, he decided to beef up the legislation by adding funding to make it easier for candidates who are going through training to receive wages while they are doing so,” said Ryan Johnson, a Rush spokesman. “Chairman Rush continues to reach out to Republicans in hopes that they will finally agree to fund this jobs program.”
