"Dems Face Tough Vote On Green New Deal"

"Democrats are facing a defining Senate vote this week on the Green New Deal climate change plan — which Republicans hope will bolster their argument that the party is too far left for the country.

It’s unclear how many Democrats will ultimately back the non-binding, progressive-pushed resolution, which aims to get the U.S. running on 100 percent renewable energy by 2030, but it’s certain to divide the party.

Asked if he’d vote for the resolution, a chuckling Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mt.) told The Hill before the President’s Day recess: “Probably not.”"
