This is a gesture of good faith. It is not a bad deal. The senate has reached a tentative deal. 45 minute before the deadline. The senate has voted, 71 votes, including republicans. Richard cordray. He will move past the cloture vote for mr. Cordray. This is a gesture of good faith. Not a bad deal.
