Not sure I understand your comment. It takes 60 votes to pass any legislation in the Senate if there is not agreement on allowing the vote. There were 51...a majority who voted yes...but you need 60....to move forward.

It was not bipartisan. I don’t count one person as a bipartisan effort.

Democrats always use the term Bipartisan if one or more Republicans Vote with them.

Like every other piece of statist, big government crap they try and pass, if they had incorporated some conservative ideals into the bill it’d probably pass. Instead, they chose to go leftist the whole way through and then act surprised when none of the sane republicans vote for it.
