Sen Ted Cruz ( R TX) voted Nay “cloture”,
On Passage of the Bill (H.R. 933 As Amended ) Sen Ted Cruz voted Nay.

You know, you can look these votes up yourself, and in turn, appear to be a lot more helpful.

Thank you.

A cloture vote, which requires sixty Yeas to pass, is often the true test of a Senator's opposition to a bill, since many Senators are "allowed" to vote Nay on the bill itself, which only require fifty Yeas plus the Vice President to pass, to give themselves political cover.
