What Was This Vote?
The Senate held a procedural vote (“cloture”) to end debate on whether to formally consider H.R. 5371—2026’s continuing appropriations bill. Cloture is invoked to move forward toward full debate (and potentially the final vote), requiring a 60-vote threshold.

What is Cloture?
Cloture is a Senate procedure for ending debate and moving a question to a vote, usually requiring a 60-vote supermajority. It’s often necessary to overcome a filibuster or extended debate on contentious bills. This vote determined whether H.R. 5371 (appropriations for 2026) would advance.
