Every single Democrat supported it not once but twice. Democrats are not the hold up. And frankly, in this case, Senate Republicans are not the holdup. Speaker Johnson and radical House Republicans are the holdup and everyone knows it. Even the White House knows it. So they said something yesterday. Republicans, stop dithering. Get your act together. Pass this legislation today before you leave for a week and send it to the President's desk so he can sign it tonight. (10:05–10:11)
