Absences could have flipped it

It passed 46–42 with 7 Republicans and 5 Democrats not voting. The losing side was 4 votes short and 5 of its members didn't vote: with them it would have failed 46–47. But the winning side's absences offset that: with everyone there, the result would have stood (53–47).

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

Didn't vote, on the losing side (5): Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), John Fetterman (D-PA), Peter Welch (D-VT), Patty Murray (D-WA)

Didn't vote, on the winning side (7): Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Rand Paul (R-KY), Dave McCormick (R-PA), Mike Rounds (R-SD), John Curtis (R-UT), Mike Lee (R-UT)
