They each had their own agenda For starters — Kaine is in VA where a huge # of fed wkrs live. Durbin was OK undercutting Schumer bc he & Sheehan are retiring. King is an Independent & opposed it basically from the beginning - plus his son is running for Gov. And so on None are on the ballot in 2026
I understand what you are saying about Kaine because of his constituents. But what proof do you have about Durbin and Sheehan? I have been told that the labyrinthine Congressional process will give each of them a chance to change their vote before anything gets to the stage of law.
