There’s no way that the House rejects it.

I was criticized in a thread about the cloture vote on Ukraine funding a couple of days ago.

Kennedy and Cassidy will not vote for Ukraine funding per se. It will pass the senate without a super majority.

But it was Kennedy and Cassidy that greased the skids on cloture to allow this to happen.

I really do not believe people understand the cloture vote shell game in the senate. It allows passage of a bill with a simple majority and simultaneously gives cover to senators like Kennedy and Cassidy to say to Louisiana voters, "I voted against Ukraine funding. I care about the American people."

Meanwhile the fix was in when they helped pass cloture.
