Right. Historically, we've seen hardline members of the conference always vote no. But in this case, they were yes. Some for the first time voting yes on a plan like this.

This is Kentucky Republican Thomas Massey primaried because he was the lone no vote for the party in the House. And this happened, again, just before the vote. And within that same window, we saw a handful of holdouts fall in line who were undecided and vote yes.

Maybe, but it could be very close. In this case, they're going to need Democrats to get this done. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, like Speaker Johnson, they're putting the heat on Democrats to get on board or be responsible for a government shutdown.

And Republicans control just a slim majority in the Senate. And that's 53 seats are going to need 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. So they hope to get Democrats to hit that threshold. We know one Republican, Kentucky Republican Rand Paul, says he's a no vote. While one Democrat, John Fetterman, has signaled he will be the first to join the GOP to get this passed.

And that happened in the case for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who was asked several times about this but would not say what the plan was. So we know they're facing pressure from both sides, and they don't want to be blamed for a government shutdown. So it's going to be a big unity test for Democrats.
