Best Answer

A filibuster is broken when 60 senators vote to invoke cloture. This is why Democrats were so interested in seating 60 senators in this election--it is very difficult to persuade a senator of the opposing party to vote for cloture. A 60-seat majority is called a "filibuster-proof" majority because they can invoke cloture without asking any minority members for their votes.
