In mourning the defeat of a major progressive priority, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) falsely claimed that “a minority of senators” squashed the legislation and that “a majority of legislators” voted for the bill, when the Senate is split at 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats.

Senate Democrats hoped to nuke the legislative filibuster in order to bypass the 60-vote threshold and pass the legislation without GOP consent, but Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) have committed to keeping the filibuster intact.
