Yes, I’d guess that’s part of why he drew a short straw and had to be a public face. I’d guess those very unconvincing 8 were given their orders so some, like Schumer, could still vote no.

Yes. The eight that stood on the podium and took the hit probably drew the short straws. Not surprised by Fetterman, Durbin and King, they’re owned by donors. I thought Shaheen was better than this.
But:
Schumer just made AOC a senator
The House now has to return to work
