Tax-Cut Bill Passes 60-Vote Level in Senate, Enough to Advance
The Senate on Monday advanced the tax-cut package agreed to
between President Obama and Congressional Republicans,
virtually assuring that the Senate will approve the bill on
Tuesday and send it to the House where Democrats are
threatening to make changes to a provision granting a
generous tax exemption to wealthy estates.
The vote in the Senate was not finished, but shortly after 4
p.m. the tally showed more than 60 senators agreeing to end
debate, cut off any filibuster and move to a vote on passage.
The majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, had agreed to keep
the vote open far longer than usual to allow lawmakers
returning to Washington from the West Coast to make it back
to the Capitol.
The vote was 61 to 7, with six Democrats and Senator Bernard
Sanders, the Vermont independent, in opposition.
