Donald Trump demanded that Senate Republicans reject legislation to prevent future coup attempts. Mitch McConnell decided to ignore him. And he wasn't alone. -MaddowBlog
The former president’s insistence that GOP senators should reject the legislation, at least for now, is being ignored.
As for the one member of the Senate Rules Committee who voted no, that was none other than Sen. Ted Cruz. The Texas Republicanyesterday, “I understand why Democrats are supporting this bill. What I don’t understand is why Republicans are.” Cruz, it’s worth noting for context, was one of only eight GOP senators who didn’t vote to certify President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory.
As for the Texan’s confusion, it’s really not that complicated. Why are so many Senate Republicans on board with reforming the Electoral Count Act? Because they saw what happened on Jan. 6 when opponents of democracy tried to exploit perceived holes in our laws, and they see value in a bipartisan effort to patch those holes and prevent future crises.: I’m holding off on delving into the legislative details for now, only because it’s still likely to be tweaked before it passes.
