I read that they only need to flip 3 more republicans and they will have 60 votes.

They won’t get the 2/3 needed to overcome a veto.

It would never pass the house. And Trump would veto.

“I read that they only need to flip 3 more republicans and they will have 60 votes.”

True, several Democrats voted against it once they knew it wouldn’t pass (go figure). But they’ll need 67 votes before it can become law, plus about 100 Republican votes in the House...as they’ll have to override Trump.

Actually, I’m surprised that SO FEW Republicans jumped on the Amnesty train this round - they were trying to get to 70 votes in the Senate, and they couldn’t get beyond 57.
