The Senate rejected Sen. Rand Paul’s bill to audit the Federal Reserve yesterday. Paul, along with fellow Presidential candidates Marco Rubio and Bernie Sanders voted for the bill.
Ted Cruz missed the vote…
According to The Hill:
“The Senate on Tuesday rejected Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) controversial proposal to audit the Federal Reserve, turning aside a bill that has drawn the ire of the business community and the White House.
The Senate voted 53-44 on taking up the presidential hopeful’s Audit the Fed measure. Sixty votes were needed to move forward.
Paul won some bipartisan support for the legislation, with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), another presidential candidate, voting in favor. Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin (Wis.) backed the bill as well.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who is also running for president, supported moving forward with Paul’s legislation, while White House rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) missed the vote. Sen. Bob Corker (Tenn.) was the only Republican to vote against the bill.”
