Nine…he needs nine other Republicans.
I believe this is the same bill that Schumer is trying to get through using Messages Between the Houses (which can get to the floor of the Senate without 60 votes, and _could_ be passed with a carveout to ignore the filibuster for this bill.
After senators speak, a motion will be made to end debate on the bill and move to final passage. Republican senators could filibuster the motion, but that would be the opportunity for Senate Democrats to pass a carveout of the filibuster rules for voting rights legislation.
