No.

We have 49 Senators. They got to get to 60 to override a veto. Even if we lose the weak sisters like McCain et al we still got 44. Remember 2 of the gang of 7 got fired Tuesday.

Minor point of correction, it takes 67 votes in the Senate to override a veto.

They need 60 to filibuster, not override a veto. And it was the Gang of 14, not 7.
