President Trump urged congressional Republicans on Wednesday to vote against a bill that would keep the reservation of a Native American tribe in Massachusetts in trust – and renewed his controversial nickname for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., who supports the legislation. “Republicans shouldn’t vote for H.R. 312, a special interest casino Bill, backed by Elizabeth (Pocahontas) Warren,” Trump tweeted. While no companion bill has been introduced in the Senate, Trump and other Republicans leaders have publicly tied the resolution to Warren. The resolution passed out of the House Natural Resources Committee last Wednesday by a vote of 26-10, including three Republicans, and now seems poised to pass with bipartisan support in a full House vote.
