vote on the new BBB vote. Damn.

Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minnesota, was hospitalized July 16, her office said in a statement, amid an ongoing debate and anticipated vote in the Senate on President Donald Trump's $9 billion spending cuts.

"While at work at the Capitol today, Sen. Smith started to not feel well," her staff said. "She went to the Capitol physician who recommended she undergo more thorough examination at GW hospital."

"Out of an abundance of caution, they are keeping her overnight for observation. She expects to be back at work very soon."

The Minnesota Democrat's absence likely means one less no vote on a package slashing funds for foreign aid and public broadcasting, currently under consideration in the upper chamber.
