Jeffries and all Democratic House Leaders have made it clear they are no.

There is only one Democrat on record who says he may vote for it, and maybe 2 others who aren't sure yet.

If all Republicans show up to vote tomorrow, and all of them vote yes, there is no way to stop this. That one Dem Rep., or perhaps up to 3 Dem Reps. won't change that.
