Politics Live: Omnibus as Football
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., was forced to delay a vote on the $410 billion spending bill late Thursday, in a surprise move that highlights how the “omnibus” has become a political football — much to the chagrin of the Obama White House.
“At a quarter to 8 tonight I had 59-and-a-half votes,” Reid said Thursday evening.
With the search under way for half a senator, ABC News’ Rick Klein and David Chalian talked about the delay and its political ramifications with Zach Wolf, who covers the Senate for ABC, on Friday’s edition of “Politics Live.”
(Watch to the end to get Chalian’s take on New York Times columnist David Brooks’ kinder words for the president.)
