Sen. Josh Hawley warns that the continuing resolution (CR) spending bill is likely to pass with the support of all Democrats in the Senate. He calls on Republicans to withhold their votes in both the House and Senate to prevent its passage.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) predicted that every Democrat in the United States Senate will vote yes on the continuing resolution (CR) spending bill which includes many unrelated and expensive provisions.on The Alex Marlow Show with Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow, Hawley was asked if Republicans could stop the CR or if they were just powerless. Hawley explained that in the House, the CR needed to receive a two-thirds super majority in order to be passed. Can we stop it? Marlow asked.
Are we just powerless here? It seems like one where Democrats would take the money and run here. But is there any path to slow this down or stop it either in the House or the Senate? Sure, I mean, in the House, for example, the way that Mike Johnson is doing this, he’s going to need a two-thirds super majority to pass this thing, Hawley explained. So, that means he not only needs every single Democrat vote, he’s going to need like, 80 plus Republicans. So, what needs to happen is Republicans just need to say, No, we’re not voting for it. When asked about the possibility of the CR passing in the Senate and whether Republican senators would be able to have a chance to stop it, Hawley predicted that every Democrat in the Senate would be voting in favor of the CR. Well, I’m going to certainly vote no, Hawley responded. I think there’ll be hopefully a growing group of us who will vote no. My guess is, just knowing the Senate and being honest with you, every Democrat will vote yes. So that’s 51…. And then you just need a handful of Republicans, and I suspect you would get that. Hopefully, you could get 35 plus Republicans to vote no, but that would stop it at the Senate. We could slow it down…. but, in the House, it’s got to clear the House. Hawley added: Even if every Democrat votes for it in the House, they still need 80, 90 Republicans, so that’s really the leverage poin
