Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) has not committed to supporting a vote on a health care reform bill, Greg Sargent reports today.
When asked if she would vote yes on a procedural motion (cloture) to bring the bill to a vote, a spokeswoman said Lincoln “has not committed her vote to anyone.”
Democrats will need 60 votes, the entire caucus, to break an expected Republican filibuster.
Lincoln, a moderate Democrat who opposes the public option, “will have to see the legislative language and cost first and will evaluate it based on its impact on Arkansans,” before she decides how to vote, her spokeswoman said.
