Absences could have flipped it
It passed 47–41 with 6 Democrats and 6 Republicans not voting. The losing side was 6 votes short and 6 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 (6): Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Richard Durbin (D-IL), Tina Smith (D-MN), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Mark Warner (D-VA)
Didn't vote, on the winning side (6): Joni Ernst (R-IA), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), John Cornyn (R-TX)
