    Didn’t the Senate vote 100-0 for a stopgap funding bill without taxpayer money for the paid-by-Mexico wall last month? Just override President’s veto and put government back to work.https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1081016574859972608 …

        Because Trump reneged on supporting that bill, and McConnell doesn’t want to do anything that undermines Trump. But this can only end after McConnell and Trump have a fight. Mitch is not looking forward to it.

        Ok good so a veto-proof vote count is possible.

        But doesn’t it have to be veto-proof in the House also?

        Pierre, would you put in a call to “Leader” McConnell on this? Thanks.

        Can they override? If so, why didn't they override the last 100-0 vote?

        In a sane political world, a veto override would be easy. But if McConnell won’t allow a vote, it ain’t happening.

        I think this is the best outcome for Trump too as it gets him out of the situation without losing face by caving into the Dems.
