I cannot find a vote tally of those in the Senate who voted for it, and if anyone voted against it, or were not present.
It also wasn't done by a formal vote, but a procedural Senate way to avoid a formal vote called a Unanimous consent. Funny that our illustrious media outlets aren't reporting that.
The House vote you can easily find who voted for it, and it wasn't unanimous.
It is hard for me to believe that Bernie Sanders and some other Democrats would have voted for a resolution honoring a racist, which is why I would like to see the actually tally in the Senate.
Thanks in advance if anyone can find that final Senate vote on the resolution.
I can also tell you WHY you probably won't find it, because it was approved by Unanimous consent, which is a procedural shortcut that allows a motion or decision to be approved WITHOUT A FORMAL VOTE IF NO MEMBER PRESENT OBJECTS.
In other words I don't think they had a real vote.
According to Google AI:
Unanimous consent is not voted on but rather is passed by default if no one in the assembly objects to a proposed action. This process is used to fast-track routine or non-controversial matters by forgoing the need for a formal motion, debate, and vote.
