Yes. A bill must pass with a majority. A tie defeats the bill.

If Murkowski and Capito bail as well, that takes them down to 49 (if they abstain, still a majority) or sinks the bill (if they vote nay).

I don’t understand that part - if they abstain, it counts, for all intents and purposes, as a “yes”?
