There are 100 Senate Seats, 54 are Republican, and 2 are Independent, so that means there are 44 Dems. There must be 60 votes for a bill to pass, and 67 for it to be veto proof majority. Once the “NO” (Dems) hit 41, there was no way for it to pass, as it needed sixty votes. Therefore the BILL WAS BLOCKED.

When a Senator votes they call out how they voted and their last name. That way people know who voted how. C SPAN and other government channels show the process/vote.
