55-45

I count 52 GOP plus Manchin WV plus Heidi from Dakotas and COL democrat and Donnelly of Indiana for 56

minus McConnell as NO to allow him to bring up the matter later? = 55 ??

The Senate cloture vote was 55-45, McConnell yes and Bennet (D-CO) no. The yes rats where Manchin, Heidi, and Donnelly.

What’s confusing me is the nuke option vote itself, which was party line, Whatever the ruling of the chair was, the Republicans voted no and no won. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around.

In any case, voting against nuking was in effect voting for the filibuster and voters in ND, WV, and IN should be reminded of that. The trio of vulnerable rats voting for cloture was window dressing, don’t be fooled voters!
