He’s probably referring to the vote after cloture.
Capping a dramatic and chaotic week on Capitol Hill, the Senate on Friday approved a critical budget bill that would fund the government past Sept. 30 — but only after Democrats succeeded in stripping a Republican-backed provision to defund ObamaCare.
The final vote was 54-44.
The bill now returns to the House, and is seen by some lawmakers as a sort of legislative hot potato. If the two chambers cannot agree on a final bill by midnight on Monday, then the government will shut down. Neither side wants to be left holding the bill if that happens.
House Republicans are under heavy pressure, now, from fellow conservatives to stand by their demand that ObamaCare be defunded, or least delayed.
House Speaker John Boehner already indicated that he will not accept the Senate-passed bill in its current form. The House is expected to take up the legislation starting on Saturday.
Earlier Friday, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid narrowly won approval to restore funding for ObamaCare. The 54-44 vote fell along party lines.

Sanctimonious little twit.
You voted for the bill on the only vote that counted, Linda.
This is NOT going to help your already losing and pathetic reelection campaign.
He’s a liar. He knew the Senate asswipes would put funding back into the bill after it passed. I consider it defunded since they scammed it. Fake and phony vote.
Go to his FB page: page after page of comments all saying he is a liar etc. Reads just like here on FR!
FU fag boy... you are a traitor and I am going to give Bright the maximum allowed just to send your std infected bunghole into retirement.
I hope the SCGOP steps in.
Lindsey and his RINO establishment buddies are the French whore bought and paid for by the Democratic party. The French whore just rolled over again and gave the Democrats what they wanted. The problem is, Democrats have gotten better at sucking money out of the government and their rich buddies.
Reagan Democrats and social conservatives allowed traditional Republicans (the party for the rich guys) to win for a while. But they have violated the trust of those two groups, who have about figured out that Republicans can no longer be trusted either. There are way plenty social and fiscal conseratives out there that, if the message is articulated correctly, can be coalesced to beat the kleptomaniac bums in both parties at the same time. I could have been friends with the Republican party had they taken care of me and my ideological brothers. But they took our money and our votes and spit us out like spoiled milk. Their actions repeatedly have shown that the Republicans sell the same product the Democrats do, they just aim at their target markets using different advertising strategies. Screw them both. I will not vote for either party in the next national election, except maybe for Jeff Sessions.
What a flaming pant load he is!
He’s getting hammered on facebook, as he should!
Keep it up, FReepers. Social media is where we can make our voices heard by low information voters who don’t understand how these a-holes lie to their faces.
He was for it, before he was against it!
HE’S A LIAR! So is CORNYN!
You ********* ***** ********, we’re comin’ for you!

Too little, too late, Pandsay.
I sure hope South Carolina has good sense and removes this hemorrhoid.
My response:
That is a total lie. Graham voted FOR cloture, effectively giving the Democrats what they needed to remove the defunding portion of the CR. Any votes he made after that are totally beside the point. Y'all must think we constituents are a bunch of idiots. We aren't. But Graham is, trying to pull a sophomoric stunt like that. You have my solemn promise to redouble my efforts so that Mace, Cash or Bright takes Graham out in the runoff primary next June.
Lindsey should take lessons from Tim Scott, a true Conservative.
linda is a liar, pure and simple.
