CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

U.S. Senate · October 16, 2025

Roll call 575 · 119th Congress, session 1

H.R. 4016 — Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2026

A vote to end debate and allow a final vote In the Senate, debate can continue indefinitely unless 60 senators vote to end it. This vote is that attempt. It decides whether the Senate may vote on the thing at all — not whether the thing passes. A failed cloture vote usually ends the matter without anyone ever voting on its merits.

The vote, broken down

Failed 50–44. A majority voted yes, but it needed 60.

How your senators voted

  • A majority voted yes, but this needed 60

    50 voted yes, 10 short of the 60 it took. A simple majority was not enough for this vote.

  • 4 senators voted against most of their party

    For Thune that is unusual: they vote against most of their party about 1 vote in 48. Fetterman does it about 1 in 5 votes, Shaheen about 1 in 7.

  • It would have failed either way

    10 of the 44 who voted no (41 Democrats, 2 independents and 1 Republican) switching to yes would have made it pass.

    As voted
    50–44 Fails
    If the 4 who voted against most of their party had voted with it
    48–46 Fails
    If the 6 who didn't vote had voted with their party
    55–45 Fails
    If both had happened
    53–47 Fails

  • The House passed it, 221–209, in July
