in JAN.?
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,847 posts)3. If it is taken up after tomorrow it will need 60 votes
because the filibuster will be in effect. The opportunity to pass a bill through reconciliation, which needs only 50 votes, expires tomorrow and McConnell withdrew the bill rather than have it officially defeated again. 60 votes are definitely not possible.
