Democrat “No” Votes Total 34 … and Climbing
From Politico.com:
With just hours remaining until an historic vote on a sweeping health-care reform measure Saturday evening, at least 31 Democrats have said they will vote against the bill as of 6:00 p.m., according to a POLITICO analysis.
Just nine more ‘no’ votes would be enough to sink the bill if Republicans maintain, as expected, a solid front of opposition.
UPDATE:
Politico.com just updated it’s count. The number of House Democrats committed to voting “No” is now 32.
UPDATE – 9:35 p.m.:
“At least 34 Democrats have said they will vote against the bill as of 8:45 p.m.,” according to Politico.com. That is just six shy of the 40 needed to defeat the bill.
