Team Nuh-Uh's Last Huh-rah?

View the original

The Senate vote on the resolution of disapproval blocking the disbursement of the second tranche (the widespread use of this word is possibly the best legacy of this whole episode) is underway.

It'll require a majority vote in both houses, so if it fails here, next week's scheduled House vote will be largely for show, just to allow Members a chance to grouse. But if it does fail here, you might possibly see some boosted numbers in favor of passage in the House, because it'll be a freebie.

Actually, they're all freebies, since a veto is virtually guaranteed, and an override appears to be out of the question.
