They don’t have the votes in the House to override. Senate is maxed out, too. Are not many more retiring, blue state, etc. Republicans who want to vote in favor of open borders.

In the House, they were not even close to 2/3rds. Dems only have a 19 seat majority in the House and it was basically a party-line vote. Nowhere near 2/3rds vote.

In the Senate, you would need 67 votes to override a veto. Not going to happen.

They need 67. And it’s not nearly that close in the house.

“....they almost had 60” (votes in Senate)

Except they need 68 to overturn a veto. Really not close.

In the House they need 290 votes. That means they need 55 Republicans to vote along with very Democrat in order to overturn ba veto.

Ain’t gonna happen. Trump vetos the bill and looks tough and strong doing it. The Liberal again go crazy while Trump reenforces his base while doing the right thing for our country.

Win, win!!
