OF COURSE HE DOES: Romney Says He Supports A Jan 6 Commission

Sen. Mitt Romney is the first Republican senator to say publicly that he supports a bill passed in the House to create an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 incidents at the Capitol.

The Utah Republican, a frequent critic of former President Donald Trump, responded “I would support the bill” Monday, after reporters asked him how he would vote if Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., tries to start debate on the House bill, reports The Hill.

It will take votes from 60 senators to defeat a GOP filibuster. Romney was not asked how he’d vote on a final passage of the House bill, which would then need to pass by a simple majority, and his office did not respond to whether he will change his vote after helping to defeat his party’s filibuster.

Schumer has vowed to bring the House bill up for a vote, which could result in the first successful filibuster in the 117th Congress. He has not said when the vote will be brought up, but said on Monday it could happen “very soon,” even as Democrats are still short of the votes they need to defeat a filibuster.
