Hmmm: Dems reviving police-funding proposals

A key group of House Democrats are nearing an agreement on a package of pro-policing bills — a huge pre-election priority for the party’s moderate wing.

Centrist Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and Tom O’Halleran (D-Ariz.) have been in intense talks this week, including a late-night huddle on the House floor, with top progressive Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on a contentious public safety package that leadership has had to punt twice over internal disputes. Leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus, who were part of initial negotiations with Gottheimer, have also been involved.
