From a WSJ editorial about the Railroad agreement

Seven paid sick days failed in the Senate, 52-43.

Six Republicans voted yes, including Sen. Marco Rubio, who was elected as a free-market Tea Partier, but who long ago replaced his tricorn hat with a red Trump cap. Three of the six—Mr. Rubio, Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley—have designs on the White House. After Mr. Cruz voted yes, Bernie Sanders quipped: “I always knew you were a socialist.”
