The vote, broken down

Failed 51–47. A majority voted yes, but it needed 60.

How your senators voted

  • A majority voted yes, but this needed 60

    51 voted yes, 9 short of the 60 it took. A simple majority was not enough for this vote.

  • 5 Republicans voted yes, against most of their party

    2 of them are from Alaska. For Cassidy, Sullivan and Tillis that is unusual: each votes against most of their party about 1 vote in 25 to 36. Collins does it about 1 in 6 votes, Murkowski about 1 in 7.

  • It would have failed either way

    9 of the 47 Republicans who voted no switching to yes would have made it pass.

    As voted
    51–47 Fails
    If the 5 Republicans who voted yes had voted no
    46–52 Fails
    If the 2 who didn't vote had voted with their party
    52–48 Fails
    If both had happened
    47–53 Fails
