Meanwhile, the latest attempt by Congress to rein-in president Donald Trump’s attacks in the Middle East failed in the Senate on Thursday.
The normal split in the Senate is 53R / 47D. With Mitch out of order, it’s down to 52/47. So three R’s voting the for it would have been enough to make the measure pass, if all D’s voted as well. But the vote got Fettermaned, and failed 49-50.
