Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that the Senate would vote on the Green New Deal introduced last week by Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
"I've noted with great interest the Green New Deal, and we're going to be voting on that in the Senate to give everybody an opportunity to go on record," McConnell told reporters.
The bill, which is not expected to pass the Republican-dominated upper chamber, could force some Democrats to make a politically awkward calculation.

I love Kabuki Theater
Now, that’s funny.
Roll call vote
Love it
******************
Yes, make the ‘RATS squirm a bit. But Mitch, PLEASE move on the speedy CONFIRMATIONS OF JUDGES.
Whatever - show votes. McConnell trying to be cute, but all he’s doing is giving this airhead congresswoman more free press.
Exactly. Beltway theater for the rubes back on Main Street. And of course he is using precious Senate time on this virtue signalling nothing burger that could be used on something useful like confirming judges.
Okay, I like Cocaine Mitch’s idea!!!!
He actually can be good at quiet stealth ridicule tactics. Just ask Gray Beaver LOL.
That might be, but you and many others don’t get it. By putting this up for a vote, we get to see WHO voted YEA or NAY.
A meaningless and virtue signalling show vote. Very few if any Dem Senators are in danger in 2020. All the battles will be fought on GOP turf.
“That might be, but you and many others don’t get it. By putting this up for a vote, we get to see WHO voted YEA or NAY.”

Thank you!!
Just like with the Single Payer health care vote..no dems voted for it because they knew it would be career suicide..instead they will wait til God forbid they ever get back in total control than they will have no issue voting for this pile of crap
Absolutely !
Cannot wait to ride the flying steam locomotives to Hawaii!
I was just telling a friend 10 minutes ago that we’ll have to remove the 4-10-4 from Henry Ford museum so we have a heavy locomotive that won’t get blown off the tracks going to Hawaii.
Thanks Mitch for diverting our attention from THE WALL!
POS
Silly. The Dems know how to handle this. They will determine who of their ilk is “safe for reelection” and they will vote one way. The others will vote the other. The Dems are the evil party, not the stupid party.
It’s a good idea, not theater. It gets them on record. Mitch is a lot of things, but knows how the senate works.
10 votes for.
I love him when he’s OUR TURTLE!
They wait for judges to make law.
All the World is a stage.
Good! More people should know about the insane things these commies want to impose on our country.
Yep, Yertle can be pretty smart when he wants to be.
