tl;dr: It went down party lines with the exceptions of Rand Paul & John Fetterman. The two independents, Angus King & Bernard Sanders, caucus with the Dems and voted yea.

He’s a disgrace, full stop sellout AIPAC shill. Fuck Fetterman.

Why do you think he is a sellout? He was funded by AIPAC from the beginning, and the DNC (also a full throated aipac suppoter) made him the only choice from the beginning.

It was a symbolic vote only. Would have needed 2/3 of all congress to pass after any veto.

The fact this one scene is the only organized resistance by any group of politicians says a lot about the state of the union
