Looks like 4 or 5 Republicans are invested in defeat as well. Not necessarily. 53 to 45 means all the Republicans, plus 4 Democrats may have voted for this. 45 Nay votes sustained the filibuster. Those could all be Democrats.

I’ve found two articles from the AP...they seem similar, but one is covering the Republican measure and the other the Democrat measure.
Both were defeated by the same vote. The AP sucks so bad...they could be using the “headline” game to portray this as a Democrat win.
