Immigration Bill Stumbles, But Could Recover Later

An attempt to cut off debate on the immigration bill and move to final passage failed today, but Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said the Senate will try again this afternoon.

If cloture is denied then, "the bill is done," Reid told reporters. "What else can I do?"

The move to end debate failed, 33-63, with all Republicans voting against it.  

Reid said it would be up to Republicans -- specifically, the White House, which played a major role in crafting the bill -- to keep it alive.
