Absences could have flipped it

It passed 46–44 with 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats not voting. The losing side was 2 votes short and 3 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 (52–47).

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

Didn't vote, on the losing side (3): John Hickenlooper (D-CO), John Fetterman (D-PA), Patty Murray (D-WA)

Didn't vote, on the winning side (6): Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Katie Britt (R-AL), James Risch (R-ID), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Tim Scott (R-SC), Mike Lee (R-UT)
