Nuclear Option to follow directly.

I thought this had to pass to go to that step... can't they now filibuster since this vote failed?

McConnell is going through all of the procedural steps one by one, so "directly" will take a bit of time and a few more votes.

Voice vote: McConnell changes back to YES. One more change.

So final tally is

YES 55
NO 45

On to Nuke.
