On January 13, 2022, the House passed H.R. 5746 by 220-203; the Clerk records Byron Donalds, Republican of Florida, voting Nay.

Donalds did not support the House vehicle later used for the Senate voting-rights and filibuster-rules confrontation. This is related but not itself a direct Senate filibuster vote.

The Senate vote on whether the decision of the Chair should stand was held January 19, 2022; the decision was sustained 52-48.

The official Senate roll call for the 2022 rules challenge shows the attempted rules change failed. Donalds was not a senator and did not cast a vote.

Rule XXII requires an affirmative vote by three-fifths of senators duly chosen and sworn to close debate, except for a rules amendment where two-thirds of senators present and voting is required.

Axios reported that Senate Democrats failed on January 19, 2022 in their attempt to modify filibuster rules for a federal voting rights bill.
