Tariff bill passed the Senate 51-48. Who was not counted?

The total adds up to 99. which Senator was absent or voted present. I assume, by the numbers, it was a Republican.

I'm just curious about who that was.

The GOP would had filibuster last night’s vote if they could. This was a motion under The National Emergency Act which cannot be filibustered
