Cornyn told reporters this morning that the tax bill will pass, and he’s not the only one. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, opponent of the bill Sen. Bob Corker agreed.

“I realize that there’s probably enough votes right now to pass it,” said Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.) in a hallway interview on Friday morning.
