Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Susan Collins (R-ME), Cory Gardner (R-CO), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), Mitt Romney (R-UT) all supported the Democrats plan, which was presumably an unexpected outcome. The presidents measure also wasnt supported by Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Tom Cotton (R-AR), but they failed to vote for the Democratic proposal as well.
The procedural vote needed 60 senators to support but only garnered 52. If Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) brought the bill to the floor, it would have passed and the shutdown would have ended. Instead, it heads into the 35th day.
At one point during the vote, Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) crossed the aisle to speak to Democrats, who had come onto the Senate floor to lobby on behalf of their House bill.
Doocy showed video of Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) saying that the one good thing the vote did is show the president that his idea is not a popular one, even among his own party.
We have no idea what comes next, said. Doocy................................
Fox News reporter Peter Doocy was floored after President Donald Trumps bill failed to score more votes than the Democrats bill in the Republican Senate.
