Per Fox News’ Chad Pergram:
The Senate has voted for the nuclear option, establishing a new threshold to break filibusters for Supreme Court nominees.
The vote was 48 yeas to 52 nays
The nays prevailed, overruling the chair and establishing a new precedent.
This will entail a revote later to break the filibuster using the new precedent.That will just be a simple majority.
