So while it didn't advance this morning, it will likely come up for another vote later today. It hasn't been "rejected" per se, but has at least experienced a (potentially short) setback.
- jack12 10y agoIt required 60 votes, and received 59 (officially 58 because McConnell switched his vote to retain the ability to reintroduce it). It only needs one more vote to pass, in other words. Feinstein was absent today, but will presumably be vote number 60 next time.
