UPFRONT: Senate’s Final Day

Published | Video Starts at 03:27

We saw the three Republicans vote no in Joint Finance in indicating that Democratic votes would likely be needed to pass. Do you know where you are yet on that on that bill? Yeah, I'm an absolute no [on the nil bill]. I don't believe in the bill. I don't think it's the right thing to do and I think a large part of my caucus agrees with me. So when you saw that joint Finance vote come out, that was very interesting because usually if a bill's going to make it to the floor, you've got to have Republican votes for it because we're in the majority.
