It does not. With how the US senate works, the senate leader can just prevent a vote unless a large number of senators force it. If the other party than the one that put the House to the vote just never forces the issue, they will not have to declare a side. The exact tactic was done repeatedly during the US's partial government shutdown. The senate leader blocked bills from a vote. A sufficient number of senators could've called for said vote, but the leader's party actually did not want to be found voting against the government reopening, so the bills to fully reopen the government were stalled for a long time.
