Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell Border Bill Flops in Senate Vote

[Breitbart] The border bill that both Democrat and Republican Senate leaders pushed flopped in a floor vote, garnering only 43 votes, which is far short of the 60 votes needed to start debate or the 50 votes needed to pass.

Fifty Senators voted against the bill, and seven —including four GOP Senators — were absent.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) was the only Republican who voted for the business-backed bill, which would have accelerated the inflow of economic migrants via asylum and parole loopholes.

Six Democrats and independents joined the GOP no-votes on the doomed bill, likely because it allowed them to signal support for more radical policies without contributing to the bill’s failure. The Democrats and independents voting no were Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA), Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-CA), Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), who is credited with being an author of the bill.

Two Democrats facing tough 2024 elections — Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. John Tester (D-MT) — voted for the cheap labor giveaway to business interests.

The public failure comes after Democrats insisted their loopholed bill was popular and effective, and the establishment media hid the pro-migration purpose of the bill, which was privately negotiated by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

The bill was revealed in February but quickly lost support once citizens read the details.

#1 T’what a weird mishmash. Tester and Brown voting yes in a situation where the Uniparty has whipped the vote into failure is strange. Brown is running ads purporting to be for unions a populism. Here he supports amnesty for no purpose. Murkowski supports McConnell’s bill that he doesn’t support. It’s like a Salvador Dali masterpiece.
