The vote, broken down

A Democratic amendment failed 49–51.

How your senators voted

  • 2 Republicans voted yes, against most of their party

    For Sullivan that is unusual: they vote against most of their party about 1 vote in 26.

  • It would have failed either way

    2 of the 51 Republicans who voted no switching to yes would have made it pass. 1 would have tied it, leaving it to the Vice President.

    As voted
    49–51 Fails
    If the 2 Republicans who voted yes had voted no
    47–53 Fails
