I’m curious, look at thehill.com’s count (link below), they claim opponents need 38 “no” votes to defeat the bill, the current “no” count is 36, but Joseph Cao (R-La.) is not listed as a “no” or “undecided.” Cao said he is a “no,” that would bring the “no’s” to 37. What is thehill.com up to?
I heard Eric Cantor say, we need 38 DEMOCRATS to defeat the bill. He isn’t talking about who voted yes or no last time and whether they change or not. He meant on this vote if 38 DEMS vote no the bill is killed. The list probably excludes Cao because he is a Republican.
