Nope, didn’t pass - yet.

There’s some parliamentary two-step dance that needs to progress. McConnell started that with the motion to reconsider.

not yet, fell short

‘The vote likely sets up an effort later this week by McConnell using the “nuclear option” to change the relevant rules and precedents by overturning the ruling of the presiding officer through a simple majority vote.’
