(CNN) The White House issued a veto threat on Friday for House Democrats' proposed bill that would provide $25 billion to the US Postal Service. The bill is expected to pass on Saturday largely along party lines, with Democrats supporting it. House GOP leaders are pushing their members to oppose the legislation, and it is not likely to be considered in the Republican-controlled Senate. Saturday's vote, which interrupts the August recess, comes as Democrats warn that President Donald Trump is trying to squeeze the USPS to suppress the vote in November's election. Trump admitted last week that he opposes much-needed funding for the USPS because he doesn't want to see it used for mail-in voting this November.
