A total of 46 Senate Democrats recently rejected a Republican legislative amendment to block the Biden administration from selling oil from the U.S. strategic reserve to the Chinese regime.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) offered the amendment during a “vote-a-rama” process, which lasted nearly 16 hours from the evening of Aug. 6 until the afternoon of Aug. 7, when senators voted on many amendments and motions for a Democratic-led piece of legislation known as the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.”
