Analysis: 'A political game.' 2020 Democrats explain why they didn't vote for Green New Deal
Sen. Cory Booker speaks during a town hall meeting in Rock Hill, S.C.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell , who called the plan a “far-left wish list," held the vote in hopes of dividing Democrats -- pitting liberals who have embraced the idea, including the 2020 presidential hopefuls, against moderates from Republican-leaning states. Yet some Democrats running for president insisted that their vote for"present" does not mean they will give up their push for the ideas behind the Green New Deal.
