The gap: on the floor this would pass — 52% by the member-vote simulation — but the floor is the hard part: 21% to ever get the vote. That gap, not the whip count, is the story.

60 (cloture)

Projected 68 yea of 100 voting; 90% interval 48–96 (quartiles 53–87). Intervals are backtest-verified to cover ~90%.

Filibusterable: the realistic Senate line is 60 votes — P(≥60) = 52% (simple-majority P = 95%).

By floor procedure

Procedure	Likelihood	Projected yea	Passes
conference	5%	68 [49–96]	96%
passage	95%	68 [48–96]	94%
