Enough R's isolated due to corona just in time to see the bill fail to advance. I really don't like the whole idea of empty bills passed and final wording put in later but this move makes the Dems look like they are totally against delivering assistance. With those missing Senators present to vote for advancement, the Dems persistance to go against anything POTUS does would have been muted.

According to the article, it would have required 2/3 to advance, not a simple majority.
