Sen. Mark Kelly is latest Democrat to back GOP immigration bill
Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly will vote for the Laken Riley Act, a spokesperson told POLITICO. He is joining fellow Democratic Sens. John Fetterman (Pa.), Gary Peters (Mich.), Jon Ossoff (Ga.) and Ruben Gallego (Ariz.) in indicating support for the immigration bill.
More Democrats are expected to support the measure when it goes to a initial procedural vote on Friday. Eight Democrats will need to join all 52 Republicans in order to advance the bill.
"Senator Kelly will vote for the Laken Riley Act and looks forward to working with Republicans and Democrats on it and other solutions to secure the border and fix our broken immigration system," said the spokesperson, Jacob Peters.
