Senate vote on cloture on the 3rd Economic Aid Package in progress now. 60 votes required to advance the bill. So far the votes breakdown on partisan lines--Rs for, Ds against (no surprise there).
Updated: The Senate vote failed, no cloture.
YES -- 49
NO -- 46
Pelosi and crew are reportedly working on their bill in the House.
McConnell is very pissed off. He's giving a speech now, calling it "obstruction", the Dems are "fiddling around with Senate procedures", rank and file Senate Dems "don't understand the position their leaders have put them in", they're "not letting a crisis go to waste", etc.
