Absences could have flipped it

It passed 46–39 with 8 Republicans and 7 Democrats not voting. The losing side was 7 votes short and 7 of its members didn't vote: with them it would have tied 46–46, leaving the Vice President to decide. But the winning side's absences offset that: with everyone there, the result would have stood (54–46).

Assuming each absent member would have voted with most of their party.

Didn't vote, on the losing side (7): Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), Gary Peters (D-MI), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Peter Welch (D-VT)

Didn't vote, on the winning side (8): Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Katie Britt (R-AL), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Jerry Moran (R-KS), John Kennedy (R-LA), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Ted Budd (R-NC), Deb Fischer (R-NE)
