McConnell, Thune and Barrasso were among the ones who voted against expanding access to health care for toxin-exposed veterans.
If anyone questions why Schumer voted N this article has a good explanation about cloture.
Both of the senators from Indiana voted N but Todd Young is one who flipped his vote. Initially, Todd was among a minority who voted not to consider the legislation at all. Then, because he’s up for re-election this year, he voted Y back in June when it came up for vote. Low risk for him, it was clearly going to pass. He sent out a lot of self promotion about his vote back then.
Now? Not so much. This week Todd voted N to align with others who threw a hissy fit over very promising legislation to combat climate change, high medication prices, and provide more equitable taxing of large corporations. I don’t expect Todd will explain or clarify the record on his vote. He’s counting on people not paying attention or taking exception.
Ready or not, here I come!
