There won't be a tie Bettie Jan 2020 #1

There won't be a tie on that either Bettie Jan 2020 #3

Oh, and three Democrats are likely to vote in his favor as well, so they can claim it is "bipartisan".

[Sorry, Can't help it. I regress to the McCain vote on healthcare - the 'leader's face turned to shit. That was so great].
