Sen. Kennedy Demands Vote on ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’: ‘It Is Time to Vote’

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY: “Well, here’s where we — I think we are, Harris. Look, I believe in teamwork. It gives you somebody to blame, but at some point you’ve got to make a decision. Now, our quarterbacks are John Thune and Mike Crapo. They’re both rock stars. They’re trying to make everybody happy. It can’t be done. We have — we have cussed and discussed and re-discussed. We need to start voting. Everybody needs to adult, adult real hard, and the jackassery has to stop. I have encouraged John and Mike to tell everyone, look, we’re going to start voting tomorrow at noon. If you’re not happy, offer an amendment. We’ll have a full amendment process, but here’s the bottom line. In any legislation of this magnitude, some people are just going to have to settle for a ham and egg sandwich without the ham. That’s just the nature of the beast. And I think that if you put everybody to the test and say, look, this is why God made votes, it’s time, vote, I think the bill will pass.”
