18 Republicans voted with Democrats to advance this bill. This doesn’t mean they’ll all vote for final passage, but I suspect enough of them will to send it to the House. So who are these Republicans?
Capito (R-WV)
Cassidy (R-LA)
Collins (R-ME)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Ernst (R-IA)
Grassley (R-IA)
Kennedy (R-LA)
McConnell (R-KY)
Moran (R-KS)
Mullin (R-OK)
Murkowski (R-AK)
Romney (R-UT)
Rounds (R-SD)
Sullivan (R-AK)
Thune (R-SD)
Tillis (R-NC)
Wicker (R-MS)
Young (R-IN)
A lot of familiar names here. They are trying to rush this bill through the Senate so they can all go home and then it will go back to the House, where I hope it will die.
