Balint explained that over the last week, there was a “core group” of House Democrats, including Equality Caucus members and House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark’s team, “who were looking at names, we were figuring out who had relationships with whom, and then each of us had separate conversations and then we would huddle back up and share information.”

“We’re most interested in the caucus, right? But we also suspected we might lose some Democrats, which is why Sarah was like, ‘Look, I’ll pick up votes wherever I can,’” Balint continued. (Democratic Reps. Henry Cuellar, Vicente Gonzalez and Don Davis voted “yes” on the bill along with most Republicans.)


Henry Cuellar (TX) (pardoned by 45)
Vicente Gonzalez (TX)
Don Davis (NC)

I know the 2 TX Reps. buck Democrats on a bunch of things but this is the first time that I recall Don Davis' name brought up for something like this (like the Texans, his district was redrawn as he is running for reelection).
