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.

ReplyDeleteShe 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?
A crazy kook mess.
