Sen. Ted Kaufman (D-DE) has become the latest senator to say he would support passing a public option via reconciliation, his spokeswoman confirms to TPMDC.
Kaufman has become the 33rd senator to do so — or 34th, if you count Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who would try to pass the measure if there are enough votes for it.
“I’m for a public option, if there’s some way that it can get done,” he told the Huffington Post. “If it qualified under reconciliation, then I would” vote for it.
