    Most those GOP senators only voted for it because they’re up for reelection and they knew the bill wouldn’t pass.

    Headline is designed to give credit where little to no credit is due.

    Prez can at least pay himself a billion dollars for the senate being weaponized against him now. Poor guy, always being picked on.

    Such a shame we don’t have a fabulous ballroom, with an extended bunker system in case the minorities protest that he can hide in in luxury. /s

    The amendment — which was proposed during a vote-a-rama on Republicans’ reconciliation bill to fund immigration enforcement — needed 60 votes to overcome a point-of-order objection.

    It failed by a vote of 52-47.

    Only reason the GOPers voted for this was because they knew it would fail, but of course they get sole credit in the headlines anyway
