Democrats have successfully blocked the creation of the Keystone XL pipeline. The vote in Senate was 53- 39, with 60 votes to start production of the pipeline. The Democrats stated that they were fed up with Mitch McConnell vote and debate on a contentious issue.
They Keystone pipeline would have produced many jobs, which President Obama has stated before that he would do anything possible to prevent the pipeline from becoming a reality. It was also stated that McConnell announced to both parties that there will be a full fledged debate on the pipeline, with 4 out of the 7 Democrats who voted for the debate have gone against the debate.
