Tariff bill passed the Senate 51-48. Who was not counted?

The total adds up to 99. which Senator was absent or voted present. I assume, by the numbers, it was a Republican.

I'm just curious about who that was.

The problem is the bill is not filibuster proof so it can be vetoed, and the house would also need to pass it. JohnSJ Apr 2025 #4

The GOP would had filibuster last night’s vote if they could. This was a motion under The National Emergency Act which cannot be filibustered
