Senate Republicans appear to be backing down from a threat to block legislation aimed at combating China’s competitiveness.
The bill, a top priority of Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), was garnering threats from top Republicans that they would block the bill from getting the 60 votes needed to advance and ultimately pass amid frustration about the slow pace of amendment votes.

Thune is trash.
I hate all Democrats.
Please Lord, give me a new party.
you’ll just hate that one, too. then you’ll want a fourth party. then you’ll hate that one.
the problem isn’t everyone and everything else.
Trash or not, he talks like an idiot
Only a useful idiot would continue to vote for someone who constantly stabs them in the back.
Don’t vote for RINOs.
Now, now, go take your defense of these cowardly GOP’ers elsewhere. We’re not buying your Pubbie slop any longer.
nope. not defending the gop; I think they’re cowards. I’m just pointing out the obvious; you’ll hate the next thing because you have hated the last 5 things.

So it’s not really about stopping bad legislation and protecting America, it’s about talking points for the next campaign.
It's what they do best.
Those who place their hopes in political machines should be dragged by their hair out of Little Caesars.
Political parties ruined this great nation.
Yes indeed.
Yep. The GOP’s favorite position is to bend over and grab their ankles.
And ask for more.
Must be some sort of Republican physical fitness program.
“you’ll just hate that one, too. then you’ll want a fourth party. then you’ll hate that one.”
You know what I always say: Everyone’s an a-hole, except me.
GOP backing down - the usual way they do it is butt facing the Dems in case any Dem needs some action.
Title seems misleading?
