Absences could have flipped it

It passed 44–43 with 9 Republicans and 4 Democrats not voting. The losing side was one vote short and 4 of its members didn't vote: with them it would have failed 44–47. 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 (4): Christopher Coons (D-DE), Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL)

Didn't vote, on the winning side (7): James Risch (R-ID), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), John Kennedy (R-LA), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), Ted Budd (R-NC), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Ted Cruz (R-TX)
