The Senate rejected a motion to limit debate on proceeding to S. 6. The vote was 52–47, short of the 60 votes required.
Senators voted on whether to limit debate on a motion to proceed to S. 6—that is, whether to end debate so the Senate could move toward considering it. ChamberLight has not yet linked this roll call to the measure it concerns, so its subject is not available here. The motion failed: 52 senators voted yes, 47 voted no, and one did not vote. A yes vote on cloture was about limiting debate, not a vote in favor of S. 6 itself.

Democrats. 45 Democrats voted no, matching their party’s majority position.
