Motion to Invoke Cloture on Reid Amendment; American Workers, State, and Business Relief Act of 2010

- Vote Rejected (57-41, 2 Not Voting)

The Senate rejected the motion to end debate on this latest version of a bill to extend several expired tax provisions and unemployment benefits due to concerns about the federal deficit. After failing to agree on how to pay for the bill, Senate Democratic leaders have decided to move on to other legislation, and the bill’s future is unclear.

Sen. Bill Nelson voted YES


Sen. George LeMieux voted NO
