It might not.

So far it's 5 votes from not passing, and 15 people have yet to comment on how they are voting. it's still a few hours away, and what people say they will do, and what they do when push comes to shove, is not always the same thing.
A lot of people have ben strong armed into voting for this thing. It's easy to look the president in the eye and say "I will help your career". It's a lot harder to vote for the death of your own, when the time comes.
I am not sure how anyone who clames to represent the people can vote for this thing, when well over 70% of the people don't want this bill passed.
In the old days, you sent people to congress to be your voice. Not to tell you want to do.
