Most Democrats vote 'present' on Green New Deal

Senators Tuesday blocked the Democratic Green New Deal resolution in a procedural vote the GOP called up in order to showcase the radical plan to end the use of fossil fuels and address climate change.

Most Senate Democrats voted “present” rather than in favor of the resolution, even though many of them said they support the framework of the measure. The resolution calls for the United States to end greenhouse gas emissions and transition to renewable energy in the coming decades.

No senators voted to advance the resolution, while 57 voted no, including a handful of Democrats: Doug Jones of Alabama, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. Angus King of Maine, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, also voted no.

No more star status for the rookie Senator. She just found out how much power a rookie in congress really has. None!

She has managed to kill the Amazon deal for her constituents, and got 0 votes for her grandstand Socialism New Deal. Quite impressive, in a very bad kind of way. I wonder how long it'll take democrats to finally start ignoring her? And for the media to quit focusing their cameras on her?

So Alexandria Hee Haw Cortez has yet again had her A$$ handed to her for being dumber than a tree stump.
Elected by 14,000 people in district 14 of New York she has the very stupid imbecilic view that she worldly.

What an idiot!

But their Present was truly a gift!
