it would likely need at least 10-20 “yes” votes from Senate Republicans

Not to worry, Mitch is loaded with the RINO caucus, Romney, Murkowski, Collins, Cornyn, Thune, Crapo, and a handful of others

“Jeffries said the Democrats would do their part to avoid failure.

‘It is my expectation that House Republicans would keep their promise and deliver at least 150 votes as it relates to an agreement that they themselves negotiated,’”

McCarthy had no right to make a promise to deliver 150 votes from other Republicans.

Wonder how much the Chinese paid McConnell to take that position against fellow Republicans? Maybe his Chinese shipping line owning wife was a force pushing him?

They already have the votes in the Senate. This article is nothing but cover for those in the middle.

“I wonder what McCarthy’s payoff is because he’s ruined his political career.”
