Friday’s procedural vote on a motion to limit debate passed 80-12. It needed 60 votes to pass. Senators unexpectedly went directly into an override vote that had been thought more likely to take place Saturday or even Sunday.
Senator Jack Reed, Democrat of Rhode Island, said after the the cloture vote that he would “urge all of our colleagues” to override Trump’s veto. Senator James Inhofe, Republican of Oklahoma, said he’s not alone in calling the annual defense bill “the most significant vote we have” and praised the bipartisan spirit that went into it.
