Comment by softwaredoug 13 days ago Did the Senate pass it? I think just the House did. 3 comments softwaredoug Reply Tadpole9181 13 days ago It's a simple majority and Republicans have 53 votes without defects. Every single Republican voted for it in Congress, so clearly today changes nothing at all. And 7 democrats even voted alongside them. valleyer 13 days ago No, this bill would be subject to the filibuster (since it's not a reconciliation bill under the Budget Act), so it's not a simple majority.
