yes, it failed initially 56-44. McConnell changed his vote to “no” so he could make a motion to reconsider so the official tally is 55-45. The reconsideration vote is now taking place.

I think the process is that this a vote to revote. Once the vote to revote passes, then they change the rule from 60 to 51, then do the revote.

Ah, so that’s why he voted no. Insider stuff, thanks.

I’m still appalled whenever I hear these roll calls, how many US Senators names I don’t recognized and have never even heard of before.
