Absences could have flipped it

It passed 46–43 with 7 Republicans and 4 Democrats not voting. The losing side was 3 votes short and 4 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 (4): Michael Bennet (D-CO), Richard Durbin (D-IL), Gary Peters (D-MI), John Fetterman (D-PA)

Didn't vote, on the winning side (7): Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), James Risch (R-ID), Todd Young (R-IN), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), John Cornyn (R-TX), John Curtis (R-UT)
