since it wouldn't change anything. I know she voted for Daines (yes) since he is absent but did she take back her "No" vote?

I thought Senators had to be present. Never heard of proxy voting. A new one to me.

(46,166 posts)7. Thanks
The way the op is worded prompted my asking. I knew she was voting "present". Again, thanks!

so 50-48 in favor of "Brat" Kavanaugh

yes so that the vote came out the same as tho he had voted yes and she had voted no, so that he didnt have to leave his daughters wedding. Old fashioned collegiality.

He wasn't there to vote "yes", so she took back her "no" .
