Absences could have flipped it

It passed 47–46 with 6 Republicans and 1 Democrat not voting. The losing side was one vote short and 1 of its members didn't vote: with them it would have tied 47–47, leaving the Vice President to decide. 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 (1): Christopher Coons (D-DE)

Didn't vote, on the winning side (6): Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), James Risch (R-ID), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Kevin Cramer (R-ND)
