Update: I am watching the vote on CNN.
Dem Yes votes: Jones, Manchin, Donnelly, Heitkamp, McCaskill
GOP No Votes: Lee, Graham, Paul
All of the Senators in the table below EXCEPT Tester voted yes. Jones, from deep red Alabama also voted yes.
The live vote is here:
Democrats in discussion on Senate Floor at 10:32The Senate will vote at 10 PM on the House Bill, which should be a non-starter. At this point it doesn’t look close.
Current Predicted Vote: Yes 51 (need 60)
Here is what we know:
GOP No votes: 3, Lee, Graham (SC) and Rand. McCain is also probably a no — but he is unlikely to vote.
Dem Yes votes. 4: Jones, Manchin, Donnelly, Heitkamp.
Our idiot porn lover. I mean idiot President. Pretty clear the House Bill is going down in flames.
xNot looking good for our great Military or Safety & Security on the very dangerous Southern Border. Dems want a Shutdown in order to help diminish the great success of the Tax Cuts, and what they are doing for our booming economy.
