BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) Republican U.S. Senator John Hoeven says a failed attempt to override the president's veto of the Keystone XL pipeline will not deter him from pushing to get the project approved.
The Senate voted 62-37 Wednesday to override President Barack Obama's veto of the bill. Proponents needed a two-thirds majority.
Hoeven, the chief sponsor, says pipeline supporters didn't win the battle Wednesday but will ``win the war'' because they will find another bill to which they can attach the pipeline project.
Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp says the failure to override the veto is clear evidence that more work remains to gather additional support for the project. She says in the last session she successfully recruited 10 Democrats to support the bill and will continue to try and get more on board.
