How? The thing they wanted to happen happened, and the guy they're trying to portray as having their back is a lame duck. The quote is an "official", not a lawmaker and could be from the administration itself or any of a host of pro-Israel lawmakers who would happily reassure an Israeli newspaper that the Democratic establishment is still with them all while maintaining the faux confidentiality that intra-party lobbying has.
