Democrats failed, as they expected, in their attempt to vote to begin debate on the For The People Act.
All 50 Democrats voted in support of the election measure and every single Republican voted against it.

But it reads more like a federal takeover of elections from the states which is why Republicans are vehemently against it.
Democrats did score a major victory for them on Tuesday, prior to the vote, when West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin said he would be a “yes” vote to proceed, which means Democrats can say that they are united on the legislation.
