McConnell said late Friday, all 51 GOP Senators will move forward
on a procedural vote. That was part of the deal he struck with the
holdouts regarding the FBI investigation.
That’s a different vote from cloture. The motion to close debate can only be made after the Senate votes to commence debate. The RINO 3 could vote to open debate, to keep their commitment to Mitch, then turn around and vote against closing debate.
