On the Motion to Table

On January 30, 2026, the Senate voted 58-42 to table an amendment or motion, effectively killing it without a direct vote on its merits. The specific subject matter of the underlying amendment or motion is not identified in the available data.

The vote broke largely along party lines, with 45 Democrats and 11 Republicans voting to table, while 42 Republicans opposed the tabling motion. No Democrats voted against tabling. This partisan split indicates significant disagreement between the parties over the underlying matter, with the Democratic majority using the tabling motion to prevent further consideration.

With the tabling motion adopted, the underlying amendment or motion is now dead and will not receive a separate vote. The procedural outcome means the Senate has disposed of the matter without debating or voting on its substance.
