In the final tally, all 58 Democrats, and the two independents allied with the party, joined together to move forward on the bill. The roll call was conducted with senators sitting at their desks, a rarely used show of decorum that underscored the significance of the vote. Thirty-nine Republicans were opposed. One Republican, Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio,didn't vote.

Ohio Ping

Fortunately Voinovich is retiring after this term.

Maybe we can elect a real Republican.

Why didn’t he vote?

[Democrat_media]

He didn’t vote to advance the bill. NOT a single Republican voted to pass this bill. Yes pass because Democrats/Marxists will use the nuclear option to break the Republican fillibuster if they have to.

Save your fire for the real enemy , the democrats , who all of them voted to advance (pass) this socialist bill, to destroy our Republic while not one Republican voted to destroy our Republic.
