Will Congress pass the Ocasio-Cortez-Cruz bill banning former members of Congress from lobbying?

Will the Ocasio-Cortez-Cruz bill pass Congress?

Now for the rant.

My rant unsurprisingly is on President Trump's visit to the U.K. He's already called the mayor of London a "stone cold loser" engaged in a debate on whether he called a member of the royal family nasty and yes he did do that, it's on tape. This all when we supposed to be celebrating the special relationship and the defeat of Nazi tyranny in Germany. Not a proud moment for the United States.
