Per FOX the vote was 59-41 to nix Trump's emergency order. 12 republicans crossed the aisle and voted with all the Dems.

And that, my friends, is why the GOP always loses when it has control. Zero solidarity in the party to get shite done.

OTOH, Democrats vote in lock step with what their party overlords demand.

Got a list of the 12 shitbirds. Damn sure wasn’t expecting that many defectors, not that it matters.

Yep. Eventually people will realize everything they see is just stagecraft. This is nothing more than Cocaine Mitch giving cover to republicans in battleground states. Trump will veto it and Mitch will drive a stake through its heart by making sure no vote to override it comes to the floor. This shite is more scripted than wrasslin’

What the Hell is wrong with these "Republicans"? I'll remember this when voting for Tillis's opponent in the primary.

With only 8 more votes they could override the veto

Smart move on McConnell's behalf. He now has the defectors on record.

If they don't change their vote when it comes up for an override attempt, they get primaried.
