Early Friday, the United States Senate passed a budget resolution tailored in large part to President Donald Trump’s initial agenda. The vote was almost entirely along party lines, with Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) being the lone GOP holdout:

The Senate on Friday adopted a budget resolution intended to serve as a blueprint to deliver the first part of President Trump’s agenda.

Senators voted 52-48 along party lines on the resolution after a marathon overnight voting session. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) voted against the measure.

The so-called vote-a-rama lasted about 10 hours, as Democrats sought to dial up the heat on Republicans with dozens of amendments needling the party on taxes and Medicaid.

Republicans overwhelmingly voted to turn away or reject the proposals. But Democrats were able to peel off one or two GOP defections as some Republicans bucked their party on a few proposals, including measures aimed at preventing healthcare cuts and reinstating federal workers affected by mass layoffs.

The Democrat proposals, let’s be honest, were delaying tactics; they had essentially zero chance of inclusion in the GOP-controlled Senate.
