115th United States Congress

[Tyche]

the current vote is to send it to committee. the vote for the actual repeal hasn't happened yet

i mean they know where everyone stands. If they had the votes, they'd have voted, they're keeping it open. .

Be happy they are holding roll call open. If they just ran this through, it probably means it passes. The delay means they don't have the votes. I need my early morning Trump rant on McCains cancer diagnosis.

Note that they can hold the vote open for hours potentially.

All senators have voted. They do not have the votes for the repeal. They have not closed the vote because they're still trying to wrangle the votes. Apparently Pence is leaving.

Now I wonder if they moderates jump ship and vote no to save face.

What happens if McConnell pulls the bill and they just don't vote on it tonight? Can he bring it back whenever or will they have to restart the debate process?

Also, this is just about the most embarrassing way this vote could have gone down if this fails, which is par for the course for Republicans.

I wonder if they'll move on away from healthcare about this week.

There only one path I can see this being positive for McCain.
If he no-s now to 51-49 it, all he's doing is Iron Man-ing a problem he initiated. As I said, a heel-face turn won't count for much.

Unless, it was all a dying breath set up to break the turtle and the party over this. That might actually be something redeeming.

Unless I misunderstood what Tyven was saying the other day, if they pull the bill now that the MTP went through they lose reconciliation protection and would need 60.

Pence back in chamber, apparently closing the vote in 5 minutes. All eyes are on Murkowski, as McCain and Collins are nos. Murkowski is getting worked hard.

[Quicklet]

They just started the vote on skinny repeal.

[Coren]

I think this is coming down to whether they turned Murkowski...ugh.

edit: I think she said "no"... yay? I couldn't hear McCain's reply though.

[TsingTao]

Sounded like Murkowski said No

[Quicklet]

McCain votes no.

[EternityEnd]
