"Three Democratic senators up for re-election in 2018 in states won by Trump last year - Indiana's Joe Donnelly, West Virginia's Joe Manchin and North Dakota's Heidi Heitkamp - voted for Gorsuch. Republican Senator Johnny Isakson missed the vote while recovering from back surgery." |

If I remember correctly he's not been in Washington the last few weeks after having some kind of back operation. It was in the news a while back. I wasn't surprised he missed the vote, the last time I heard (a few weeks back) he wasn't scheduled to be back in Washington until after Easter I believe they had said.
Old news report about back surgery: 2/20/17 back surgery #1 Apparently he needed a second follow-up surgery, this date 3/15/17: back surgery #2 |
