They just needed one more no vote to stop the Big Beautiful Billionaires Bill from proceeding to reconciliation.
Thom Tillis, Ron Johnson, and Rand Paul voted no. It was thought Lisa Murkowski was going to vote no, but at the last minute, she got a perk for Alaskans and flipped to yes.
UPDATE 04:22 pm: Oopsie.
The Senate’s rewritten domestic policy bill faces new hurdles after the parliamentarian advised senators Sunday that several provisions violate the chamber’s strict rules for budget reconciliation bills.
The rulings, released in a memo from Democrats on the Senate Budget Committee, come as Senate Republicans are still trying to ensure they have the votes for final passage of their signature legislation.
Two provisions added to the bill just days ago — and tailored specifically to boost Medicaid payments to Alaska and Hawaii — have been ruled to violate the Senate’s Byrd rule.
