    Your statement seems to make sense to me, but I’m not sure how the article’s statement is factual then.

      If two Republicans vote with the Democrats, the Republicans still have a majority, but the vote is split if three decide to vote with the Democrats. (219 - 3 = 216; 213 + 3 = 216)

        I came to the same math, but the article states “on any party-line issues”. If its a party-line issue, doesn’t that define that all the party will vote on one side or the other?
