Media here said the vote was “just short of the 2/3rds needed”. Fell farther short than that.

Media here said the vote was “just short of the 2/3rds needed”. Fell farther short than that. According to my calculations, the override number would be 290. They only got 218 on the original approval vote.

Yep. The Democrats could muster only 218 - the bare majority of the House for their Cut N Run bill. They needed 290 votes to override. They were nowhere near that and made no attempt to obtain Republican support for their plan. This is a reality check to arrogant libs.
