Vote-a-rama reaches 19-hour mark
The Senate vote-a-rama has been going on for nearly 19 hours. Senators are now seated at their desks on the floor, some with weary faces, others wearing blankets and fuzzy socks -- and many drinking coffee.

There is still no clear indication as to when the session will come to a close or when the Senate will proceed to a final vote.
The Senate just completed voting on an amendment by Sen. Mike Lee that aimed to strip out wind and solar tax credits from this bill. It failed by a vote of 22-78. Lee's amendment was closely watched partially because members of the House Freedom Caucus wanted it to pass.
Lee's amendment was the 33rd vote that the Senate has taken in this vote-a-rama. There are, at present, three more votes queued up. Aides told ABC News those next votes will not be the last of the session, but it is not unclear how many more may follow.
Majority Leader Sen. John Thune has now asked his colleagues to keep the next round of votes to 10 minutes each. The longer this goes, the faster we expect senators to vote.
