GOP kills IVF bill one week after Trump claims to be 'leader on fertilization' - All In - MSNBC

The Senate once again took a vote on protecting IVF, but Trump—the self-proclaimed “leader on fertilization” who is never shy about forcing his Republicans to support or kill a bill—was nowhere to be found. All but two Republicans voted against the bill—and JD Vance skipped the vote. Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-CA) joins to discuss. - Aired on 09/17/2024.

I'm seeing that the vote was a majority "Yea" (55 yea, 41 nay), and yet I'm also seeing that the bill was voted down.

How does a winning Yea vote result in a voted down bill?
