Seems weird that the remaining 11 were able to get away without having to vote. Makes you wonder how the order of the roll is called. Is it alphabetically by state? By representative? Then some would get off the hook more than others.
They did vote - final 51-49; some just waited until the end so they didn’t appear to be contributing to the outcome. Hirono was one of the final votes (after it was over the top). John Roberts reports that Murkowski is deemed gone. Call’s out to around 53K Alaskans needed to call for recall of their not so esteemed Senator.
Oh, they voted but...
Was it a vote to “signal” their base?
Signal their DEM handlers?
Self-gratification?
How do they view the upcoming vote? Is this the skirmish that turns the battle?
53-47
