A cloture vote would be required, but, there was talk of changing the filibuster rule, so that they would only need a simple majority. And the vote to change the filibuster rule would only need a simple majority, not 60 votes.

And in a 50-50 Senate, it would only need 50, with Kamala certain to be the tie breaking vote.
