    I don’t know how you came to that number or how someone up voted a simple factual error. You can just read the article. It was 49-50.

      Three Republicans — U.S. Sens. Rand Paul, of Kentucky; Susan Collins, of Maine; and Lisa Murkowski, of Alaska — voted with Democrats.

      The vote comes less than a week after Fetterman published a column in The Washington Post pushing back on speculation that he may switch parties after a string of high-profile disagreements with fellow Democrats.

      It doesn’t say who abstained, but someone must have, right.
