cuts and tax cut for very wealthy people. around $1 million is -- they were claiming the democrats were wrong and should not vote on democratic health care until the new senator could be seated. here's an ad that an opposition group is running that is making the point that doug jones who just won the seat in alabama is not going to be allowed to vote on this. take a listen. >> the voters have spoken, but mitch mcconnell is trying to jam through the tax plan before alabama's new senator can vote and it's not right and mitch knows it. last time it happened when a republican won a special election, mcconnell stopped all votes until that senator receded. >> winner, whoever it is, should be sworn in promptly. let's honor the wishes of the people. >> call senator mcconnell, tell him he should honor the wishes of the people now, too. >> is that an effective message?
