I guess the Dims are boycotting this vote. I think Mitch commented that they seemed to departed after Schmucky’s speech. Won’t take as long to go through a roll call vote.
The vote will be almost unanimous. And any no voter will really stick out.
Is Pence in the room?
So, if the Democrats boycott, does that mean the Republicans could win without all of them voting “yes”? If so, then losing Collins doesn’t matter, at all.
The Democrats must know they do not have the votes to block.
