Just cloture.
Which is effectively passing the bill. The next threshold is 50+1.
49 Dems plus one Republican senator and Kamala and Zelensky is swimming in cash again.
Cloture votes are cover your arse votes. If you vote for cloture it is tantamount to voting for the bill. I don't believe a bill has EVER failed passage after receiving cloture.

I thought legislation still required a supermajority and only appointments needed a simple majority.
