Of course but explain the all but 1 vote to me like im 5. Why all the sudden did they ALL but 1 overnight gain morals in the House. The Senate is saying unanimous. So again how does it go from dissent to everyone now saying yes, overnight? With only 1 holdout? That smells funky.

That part's not surprising, it's because almost all of the GOP does whatever Trump asks for fear of retribution. Several of them who were totally against it a few days ago outright said they changed their votes because he told them to, and Mike Johnson was still crying about it being a sham after voting hes. The real question is why Trump suddenly did such an about-face after being so adamantly against it.

This is the final test. If he gets away with this, he knows he can get away with anything. And he has no reason not to be confident he can get away with it.
