Responding to a question about the apparent lack of unanimity amongst Senate Democrats ahead of the vote on the American Jobs Act, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) quite bluntly responded, “People will read it as a lack of support for a jobs program.”
“I frankly think all 53 democrats — 52 — are for a jobs bill of some type,” Hoyer told reporters on Tuesday. “I think you’re correct that if we cant get 51 Democrats to vote for it, it will clearly be argued by Republicans and construed by all of you as undermining the president’s message.”
