119th Congress · Session 2 · June 5, 2026

A vote to set aside an objection that the measure breaks a budget rule

A senator objected that the measure spends or cuts more than the budget allows. Sixty votes set that objection aside; fewer, and the measure is stopped by the objection without a vote on what it would do.
