With 43 votes against, the CLARITY Act is essentially confirmed as unable to pass this vote.

BlockBeats news, September 16 — The vote on the CLARITY Act has entered its final stage, with a total of 89 lawmakers currently counted, comprising 46 votes in favor and 43 votes against.

As this procedural vote requires at least 60 votes in favor to pass, based on the current voting results, it is essentially certain that it will not pass, assuming no one changes their vote.

This voting result only means that the CLARITY Act temporarily cannot proceed to formal Senate deliberation. It does not mean the bill is permanently dead, nor does it represent a final rejection of the bill. It signifies that the Senate cannot end the procedural debate on "whether to proceed to deliberation," and the bill temporarily cannot enter subsequent amendment discussions.
