I fully understand. IF the Senator from Alaska had voted on all the Amendments being offered and voted on in the past 24 hours. Presumable He would be voting YES which would make the vote 50/50 thus requiring VP Kamala Harris as the VP to cast the deciding vote and as such would very likely side with her boss and then the administration owns the results of killing those Amendments.
Yes—
but as the vote is strictly party line anyway, it doesn’t matter hugely.
While the U.S. doesn’t have whipped votes, as there really are only two parties (pax King and Sanders), when the vote is strictly party line the party owns it somewhat more than when you have party line votes in Canada.
If Biden wanted any of these to pass, he would have no problem finding a Senator to back him up—given that a solid majority of the Dem Caucus is to the right of the VP.
