Rand Paul on the BBB: VP Vance ‘Was Very, Very Close to Going with Me Versus the Subsidies for Alaska’

EXCERPT:

PAUL: “My no would never have sunk the bill, and the reason it wouldn't is they were negotiating with me. If my vote were going to be the deciding vote, they would have negotiated. They were negotiating -- well, they were negotiating that morning. The vice president was very, very close to going with me versus the subsidies for Alaska. They eventually chose the subsidies for Alaska, which shows you something, that subsidies for Alaska and more money out there was actually easier for them than having to vote on the debt ceiling again in three months.”
