7 democrats made this bill pass. If they all voted “no” it would’ve failed 213-214.

NEW: DHS appropriations bill funding ICE passes 220-207 7 Democrats voted YES on the bill: - Jared Golden - Marie Gluesenkamp Perez - Henry Cuellar - Tom Suozzi - Laura Gillen - Don Davis - Vicente Gonzalez One Republican voted NO: Thomas Massie

Nothing special about 7 in this case, fwiw. The bill passed 220-207, so it would only fail (213-214) if there were zero traitors... except that there were also 4 GOP reps not present, so Johnson would have just delayed the vote long enough for 2 more of them to show up.

The polling is in their favor to vote against this bill, it’s an election year, and the bill would’ve passed anyway so voting “no” wouldn’t have hurt them in the eyes of their actual constituents (their donors).
