The senate version is in the judiciary committee now. We need 60 votes on the senate floor for it to pass. There are 52 repubs, and we know some are rhinos. Figure at least 10 demoncrats will need to support it. My fingers are crossed, but im not very optimistic.
Its been a while since I've been in high school history class, but doesn't only 51/100 need to vote in favor for it to pass? A supermajority is only needed in case of a filibuster or if it is vetoed by the president to my understanding. Besides, didn't the tax bill last week pass with 51 votes?
