27 GOP Senators 'Disapprove' Of Their Own Vote To Raise Debt Ceiling

Amazing. 27 GOP Senators 'Disapprove' Of Their Own Vote To Raise Debt Ceiling

"Twenty-seven Republican senators voted with Democrats on Oct. 16 to lift the debt ceiling and avert a catastrophic default. And each one of those 27 senators voted Tuesday to 'disapprove' of their own votes. The vote Tuesday was a symbolic 'resolution to disapprove' of the debt limit hike. It was mandated by the deal thanks to a last-minute provision inserted by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). The motion failed 45-54 because all Democrats opposed it."

So when they were for it, they were also for later voting against that they were for it.
