    The vote was 211 to 204. An additional 11 no votes would have forced 5 more republicans to go on record. They would presumably have been from 5 districts which are less safe from criticism of Hegseth than the 211 who voted yes.

    Perhaps more importantly; those 11 votes would have showed that it takes more than 8 days for the DNC to wipe their ass with the will of the people.
