in June, praised the president on Sunday for renewing his push, but acknowledged that any upcoming vote may be symbolic for now. “Let’s see if we can try to get that number as close to 60 as possible,” Murphy told CNN’s. “If we don’t have the votes, then we’ll talk to [Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer] and maybe come back next year, with maybe an additional senator, and see if we can do better.
It’s unclear how many votes Senate Democrats could procure for gun control legislation; while several Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader, voted in favor of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, they may not be so cooperative during the lame duck session. Democrats could expand their Senate majority, shouldin the Georgia runoff election. But that would still leave them needing votes from nine of their GOP colleagues.
. On Sunday, Murphy suggested withholding funding from counties that refuse to enforce federal gun laws. “That’s a growing problem in this country,” he said. “I think we’re gonna have to have a conversation about that in the United States Senate.”Suffice to say, the party's ability to address America's gun violence epidemic will be significantly hamstrung next year, when the new GOP-controlled House takes over.
