Not sure if the Speaker's vote is included in this tally, but I assume so.

(10,437 posts)They need at least 6 more votes if no Republicans end up voting no. And if some do, then they need 10 more votes for a majority.

(10,437 posts)Which means it needs to go back to the Senate again. It's not remotely clear at this point what the final bill that passes both the House and Senate will look like.

It doesnt give me any joy to be right but this is the reality we have to confront. No Republican will save us.
