29 Republican Senators voted to allow clouture. This stops debate and brings the Bill to the floor for a vote. Since 60 votes were needed for clouture and only 51 are required for passage, some of these will vote against it once it comes to the floor. This is a very underhanded way to make sure the bill is passed while going on the record as voting against it.
Do not be fooled all of these Republican Senators are traitors to their conservative base.
