The party needed all of its members in town for the vote in order for it to pass, but Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) was in South Korea for a conference, putting them a vote down. Leadership knew about his trip for weeks ahead of time.

“I don’t think anything went wrong. We just needed more votes,” Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said. “We weren’t sure how the votes would come down, but we knew there would be absences.”

“It was a win-win either way. If we won the vote, it was a good win like we won the Canada vote,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters Thursday.

    It was a win-win either way. If we won the vote, it was a good win like we won the Canada vote,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters Thursday. “But we knew if we lost, every single Republican — including those up for election — was the single vote that kept … these onerous tariffs on the backs of the American people.

    This fucking loser, again. “If we won the vote…,” except you didn’t win the vote, you simpering weasel. Once again, you snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, and somehow feel smug about it. Framing easily avoidable losses as positives is why America has been stolen by MAGA Nazis.

    This fucking hump loser has got to go. It’s not enough to decide not to run for reelection, the Dems need to reject him from power, and force him to resign in embarassing and humiliating fashion. Let AOC have his seat, and find someone with some spine to be the Senate Minority Leader.
