Description
Sen. Mitt Romney is having a bipartisan moment.
The Utah senator kept everyone in suspense until Monday on how he would
vote on Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation. He voted against
confirming her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit last
year, but flipped and will now vote to confirm her to the Supreme Court.
Six weeks ago, House Democrats blew up a bipartisan deal on Covid
funding when they stripped $15 billion in pandemic relief money from a
bill to fund the government. Biden and Democrats scrambled to find a way
to pass a stand-alone bill and they needed a GOP partner.
Romney stepped in and spent the last month and a half negotiating with
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the White House. They announced a $10
billion deal on Monday.
On Tuesday, it fell apart.
