In the Senate, there was a vote to decide if Sarah Morgan Davenport from New Mexico should become a judge for the United States District Court in New Mexico. This is an important job where she would make decisions in federal court cases.

The vote was led by Democrats, who wanted this decision to move forward. They succeeded in a crucial step called a "cloture motion," which essentially means they had enough support to end any prolonged debate and proceed with the final decision on her appointment.

In the vote, 50 senators agreed to move forward, while 45 were against it. This means the Democrats were successful in their efforts, and the process to officially make Sarah Morgan Davenport a judge will continue.
