Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itCollins is countering a characterization of her vote's significance; whether the bill would have reached the Senate floor regardless is a verifiable procedural claim about Senate scheduling and vote counts.
What we foundThe evidence confirms that the big beautiful bill was going to pass the Senate regardless of Collins's vote, because Murkowski's 'yes' was sufficient to reach the 51-vote threshold with Vance breaking the tie, making Collins's 'no' inconsequential to the outcome.
