The unofficial tally on the Senate cloture vote for the government funding bill stands at 56-40 as of the latest updates. All Democratic senators have voted, but Republicans John Cornyn, Mike Lee, Rick Scott, and Ron Johnson remain undecided or unvoted. The motion requires 60 votes to advance and potentially end the shutdown.
My question is… where is our Senator? I know that he’s excited to tell the 4 million Texans on the ACA (roughly 83% receive the tax credit (3.32 million people)), to hell with you, but Sir… where are you?!
