(CNN) – The Senate voted Wednesday night to revoke President Joe Biden’s vaccination mandate aimed at private companies with 100 or more employees.

The effort was led by Indiana Republican Senator Mike Braun, and it only needed a simple majority of 51 votes to pass that chamber.
The final vote was 52-48. Two Democrats, Senators Jon Tester of Montana and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, joined their 50 Republican colleagues in voting to revoke the business vaccination mandate.
