    The vote was 211 to 204. An additional 11 no votes would have forced 5 more republicans to go on record. They would presumably have been from 5 districts which are less safe from criticism of Hegseth than the 211 who voted yes.

    Perhaps more importantly; those 11 votes would have showed that it takes more than 8 days for the DNC to wipe their ass with the will of the people.

      So more ceremonial dance that will be utterly forgotten and pointless. The trump voters left ain’t changing because of this shit they’ll change even ice is at the door attesting their neighbors and gas is $10
