Despite a lame-duck push by Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu, the Senate defeated a bill to approve the Keystone XL pipeline on Tuesday evening, 59-41. Just 14 Democrats supported the measure—one fewer than Landrieu and other supporters needed to pass the bill.
Incoming Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has promised to again take up the legislation early in the next Congress, when it is expected to earn more than the 60 votes needed and pass easily. McConnell will have at least a 53-seat majority (54 if Landrieu is defeated by Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy in a December runoff) and eight of the Democrats who voted in favor of Keystone on Tuesday will return to the chamber in January.
