By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

In a country where public transport is scant outside major cities, car loans are one of the last things that Americans will let themselves default on.
So it is particularly shocking that the share of car loan borrowers missing payments has soared to levels last seen during the financial crisis.
