Whip List: Where Republicans stand on emergency declaration vote
By Cristina Marcos and Jordain Carney - 02/25/19 06:29 PM EST

Republicans will soon have to go on the record over whether they back President Trump's emergency declaration to secure more money for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

House Democrats are plowing ahead with a Tuesday vote on a resolution sponsored by Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) that would terminate the emergency declaration.

With virtually unanimous support among Democrats, the measure is expected to easily pass in the House.

In the upper chamber, Democrats need four Senate Republicans to secure the 51 votes needed to send the resolution to Trump's desk.

Trump is expected to veto any resolution to terminate his emergency declaration. Neither chamber is expected to have the two-thirds needed to override a veto.

Here's where key Republicans stand on the Democratic resolution.

He's at the bar with Pelosi.

Maybe a couple more. Jones and Manchin are possible D votes that could break ranks. On the R side, I fully expect Collins, Murkowski, Tillis, Romney, Paul, and Gardner to vote against the emergency declaration.
