US Senate approves amendment to keep embassy in Jerusalem

[JP] The three opposing votes were Democratic Senators Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, and Tom Carper of Delaware.
Spit and mumble. Spit again.
The United States Senate voted 97-3 late Thursday to support an amendment to the COVID-19 budget resolution that affirmed the country's intention to keep its embassy in Jerusalem.

It was put forward by Republican Senators Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma and Bill Hagerty of Tennessee.

Inhofe tweeted that the amendment "would make the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem permanent, effectively preventing it from being downgraded or moved. It's an important message that we acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel."
