According to Senate.gov, today's vote is literally a reconsideration of yesterday's vote.
I know! I just said that!

There's some weird rule where McConnell ending on a "no" vote (despite originally voting yes, they can switch votes until it locks in) allowed him to make that reconsideration motion. If he had stayed a yes vote the vote would have still failed because cloture requires 60 votes, but he wouldn't have been able to motion for the reconsideration vote.

He also wanted to make it a gimmick vote and interrupt the normal order of the Senate to hold the vote 15 minutes after the markets opened today and got mad when Schumer rejected that part (I assume he needed unanimous consent to place the vote there instead of around 1 PM when it happened)

and i mean no one is saying his vote would have changed it. you just said you were "not sure what LotM is referring to" so I told you!

you guys are way too hostile to lotm. i disagree with him on much of the same policy lines you do but the venom really comes out for him from a lot of the topic
