They don’t have the votes even at 51%. That’s what’s so ridiculous about this. The Dems don’t need to filibuster. They are just doing it for show.
We don’t actually know what percentage they have, because they voted knowing they didn’t have enough votes, 60, to end debate in the Senate. Some Democrats voted for it, and some Republicans voted against it. They knew their votes were symbolic only.
Wouldn’t the 50-48 vote have carried?
A motion passes if it gets a majority of those present and voting.
