how does the minority party win a vote?

Replying to @m4h007
the vote was unscheduled and deliberately called ahead of time. there was no way for the Dems--who are in the minority--to win.

give up on what? right now the Dems are in the minority. the new majority won't be seated until January 3, 2027. what are you talking about?

the vote would have been held open until enough Republicans had voted. it ran well past the scheduled end time. there was no "one weird trick" the Dems could do. they'll take up their own impeachment stuff in a few weeks.

Most of the Dems who missed the vote were here, Republicans just gavelled before they got in there (which is their prerogative when time has expired). But their arrival would not have changed the outcome of the vote since all Republicans except Massie voted in lockstep.

Rs have been worried for a week that their attendance issues would allow Hegseth vote to move forward Instead, 11 House *Dems* missed the vote

he was always going to survive it. the GOP holds the House majority until the end of the year.

Replying to @prem_thakker
he won't have the majority until January. feels like you should know that.

Replying to @lilydsmith
it wouldn't have mattered. the GOP still has more House members than the Dems do.
589
Replying to @BenjaminPDixon
there are more GOP House members than there are Dems. math is math.

Replying to @countdown2march @I_Harlequin @prem_thakker @zhang_sharon
as many as they needed. and they would have held the vote open until tomorrow to get more GOP reps in.
