Every Senate Democrat voted against Mitch McConnell's rushed-through, Republican-written corporate bailout plan for coronavirus stimulus. The procedural cloture vote failed 47-47 (McConnell voted against it for procedural reasons, so he can bring the cloture back up later). Even Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin got salty over how bad this bill is. Not one known for his liberal thinking, Manchin blasted the Republican bill. "They're throwing caution to the wind for average workers and people on Main Street and going balls to the wall for people on Wall Street."
