Donald Payne Jr. remains hospitalized following a &;quot;cardiac episode&;quot; in early April stemming from complications tied to his diabetes‚ his office says. https://t.co/ZC9y37MoEm — NBC News (@NBCNews) April 18‚ 2024 “Currently‚ he is recovering in the hospital as doctors conduct routine exams to monitor and observe his improvement‚” an earlier statement from Payne’s office read. “The congressman’s prognosis is good‚ and he is expected to make a full recovery‚” it added. Per NBC News: With narrow margins in the House‚ Payne’s absence can have a significant impact on floor votes. The current party breakdown is 218 Republicans to 213 Democrats‚ but when Rep. Mike Gallagher‚ R-Wis.‚ resigns this weekend‚ that will change to 217-213. With Payne absent‚ the maximum number of Democrats voting would be lowered to 212. In a 217-213 scenario‚ Republicans can afford only one GOP defection. But if it’s a 217-212 breakdown‚ they can afford two and still pass legislation without help from Democrats.
