Would you please explain? I’m not sure what you mean.

If Reid votes against breaking the filibuster, he can then bring it back up for debate at a later time. If he votes for breaking it, he cannot do this.

Senate Majority Leaders nearly always vote against breaking a filibuster, once it is clear that cloture will fail.
