so he wouldn't be checking in with the majority leader, unless he's now taking orders from Mitch McConnell.

Every vote is needed, especially on such an important issue.

In my opinion his being AWOL at a time like this looks really bad, but maybe that's just me. If I lived in Vermont though I'd be mighty pissed that one of my two Senators decided to take a hike during the worst public health and economic crises in decades.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
