27. Based on reporting this week, I could definitely see it getting 292 votes in the House

(There are reports of at least 100 Republicans being ready to vote YES, which would put it over 300 votes total. And if it gets anywhere close to that, it will put a lot of pressure on the Senate to put it to the floor for a vote. Then it will be up to Thune as to whether he allows a vote or not. Is he too afraid of Trump to allow a vote? Probably, but that remains to be seen. Again, based on reporting, it would not surprise me if it passed the Senate if a vote is ever allowed. The bigger question is whether it could receive 67 votes to override a veto. At this point, I would consider that highly unlikely, but each step along the way weakens Trump further so I wouldn't rule it out.
