A leaked whip count of Senators and their reported votes for Cornyn, Thune and Scott has reportedly been leaked to Benny Johnson tonight and there are some shocking votes on the list.
For starters, Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton are said to be voting for Thune who was McConnell’s second-in-command. Cornyn isn’t any better and might actually be worse.
If this is true – and I caution on taking this as gospel – I just don’t understand how Mike Lee and Marco Rubio can be voting for Scott and not Ted Cruz.
But there’s plenty of time between now and Wednesday for people like Cruz to change their minds.
Here’s the full list:
