    25 defectors for the third vote.

    The first vote, he had about 20 defectors. Then he threatened some people and had 22 defectors for the second vote.

    So, then they get the brilliant idea that threatening more people will somehow get them the votes the third time around, and now they have 25 defectors.

    MAGA and the Freedom Caucus are a cancer of the GOP’s own making.
