The legislation needed GOP support under the procedural rules.
Democratic leaders pulled a pair of tribal bills from the House floor Wednesday to avoid their failure after President Donald Trump — echoing complaints from the conservative media — urged Republicans to oppose the legislation.
One of the measures, H.R. 312, would reaffirm the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe reservation as trust land in Massachusetts. The other, H.R. 375, would reaffirm the authority of the secretary of the Interior to take land into trust for Indian Tribes. But hours later, Trump slammed one of the measures for being sought by Sen. Elizabeth Warren , one of his Democratic rivals in 2020.
