Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, attempting to put political pressure on Republicans, announced Sunday that the chamber will vote this week on a long-negotiated bipartisan border bill that Republicans blocked earlier this year.
The scenario of a split is interesting but very low probability since there are Democraticame Senators who can make sure that doesn’t happen by their vote. I imagine there will be Democratic Senators voting for this bill. It’s not what they do that’s important, it’s what Republicans do. Johnson won’t bring it to the floor for the s reasons he didn’t last time. Trump told him not to.

How does your math work?
It takes a single D senator cough Joe Manchin cough voting for this for it to pass the Senate, then it will pass the Republican House.
You realize there are consequences for this that will last decades if it’s ever overturned?
This ain’t a fucking game, this effects peoples lives. It effects if people will live…
And playing with them like they’re pawns is something republicans do, Dems joining in hurts their turnout and when turnout is low, republicans win.
If it’s just political.points to show republicans won’t do anything, why not use healthcare?
Why use something that if literally anything goes different than expected, republicans win?
In a perfect world things could pass with a 50 vote + Kamala Harris majority, but the Senate has failed to operate like that since they engaged the filibuster death penalty in 2009 when Obama was elected.
60 votes are needed to proceed on ANYTHING in the Senate and with a 50/50 split, the votes from the other side just aren’t there.
Tell that to ALL REPUBLICANS in the Senate voting to reject the bill.
What?
Tell them that this bill is something they should agree with and they could pass it, getting stuff they want while putting all the blame on Biden and getting trump elected?
The fuck would I want them to do that for?
I’m.praying they’re too spiteful and stupid to realize that…
To anybody reading the above, let’s remember that currently, that is, right now, there are Republican leaders encouraging to vote against this bill. It’s right there in the article.
And let’s remember that the first attempt was shut down by the Republicans.
So, don’t fall for what the AI bot is saying above.

Wasn’t it McConnell who did some shit like this, then when it was actually going to pass he had to filibuster his own bill?
Like 90% sure it was him
