22. AOC: It should be very clear to every Sen. Dem. that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill.

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill.

People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games.

They know exactly what is going on.

Defend Medicaid.
Vote NO on Cloture.
NO on bill.
