That is not the accurate count. 95 opposed the CR. The CR passed via his deception, and passage depended on 111 GOP votes and 95 were already opposed pre deception.

Next thing you know he wants to bring Ukraine funding to the floor and have it pass via Dem votes.

That’s not the way the world works. You DO NOT advance legislation opposed by the majority of your caucus. Do that and you are removed.
