From Jonathan Seidl at The Blaze —
39 Dems Break Rank in Adjournment Vote
Pelosi Casts Tie-breaker“Virtually every politically vulnerable Democrat, ranging from Bobby Bright of Alabama to Stephanie Herseth Sandlin of South Dakota to Frank Kratovil of Maryland, voted against adjourning the House,” Politico reports, “believing they should stick around to extend the tax cuts.”
Many Democrats have been breaking with their party’s agenda as Americans increasingly grow disgruntled with the party’s track record in Congress. Breaking rank, then, may be a last-ditch effort to show that the candidates are more loyal to their constituencies than their party.
The vote to adjourn does not mean an immediate departure for the Representatives. As The Hillreports, the House still has to vote on several issues, including a measure to keep the federal government operating through Dec. 3, before it adjourns.
Join us at 9p ET for the story behind the headlines with Elizabeth Letchworth.
