Dems fracturing?

Nine Senate Democrats joined with Republicans on Wednesday to condemn President Joe Biden’s regulatory action that turns a blind eye to allegations China is violating trade rules on solar panels.

Biden is expected to veto the congressional resolution. It would take a two-thirds majority on both houses of Congress to override the veto.

56-41 vote

They'll need ten more in the Senate to override a veto. No idea how the voting went in the House.

Yes, it will be a stretch to get 2/3rds to override. You'd think it was a no-brainer, instead exposes the depth and breadth of Chinese infiltration/influence in the House and Senate.
