Senate Vote On Codifying Marriage Equality In Schumer's Hands

TMR talks about Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Marriage Equality Bill as the 2022 Midterms are right around the corner. The Majority Report crew discusses the potential outcomes of a floor vote on the Marriage Equality bill, how many Republicans are likely to support the bill, and why Ron Johnson has decided to rescind his support by claiming religious freedom must be asserted. Johnson has called behind on the polls, and his vote could alienate many of his supporters. The MR crew also talk about if the Democrats were to lose their majority in the Senate.

Schumer could force the vote before the election and it would put Ron Johnson in particular in some very very precarious position. He is the most likely flip if the Democrats are to flip a seat. He is behind in the polls though it's tough to measure and this would alienate a significant chunk of his base and that's why I think you bring it up for a vote now. I understand well then that's one argument the other side of it is that there is a fear that if you bring it up before the election you lose Johnson. You may lose a couple other Republican senators who would want to give cover for Johnson.
