There are enough Rs on that caucus to swing the vote, as long as democrats aren’t supporting the amendment. I hope they stick to their guns.Best outcome is that an amendment is offered to remove that provision. More likely to succeed if the amendment comes from an R. They will have a chance to propose an amendment to the final product. Hopefully one of the two you mention will do that.
This will be a telling time. Did the R leadership give Zinke, Downing, and Simpson latitude to vote for public lands knowing they have the votes elsewhere? Or does the Public Land Caucus formed by Zinke and Vasquez have some influence?
Time will tell and it will set the path going forward.
