This was a vote to allow the bill to proceed through reconciliation so it can pass with a simple majority.

Now that it has, a bunch of the hypocritical republicans will vote to pass it now that their vote is meaningless. That way they can say they voted for the bill even though they would have prevented it through filibuster.

I don’t know if it will pass with more than 60 votes but that wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
