Since 2022 Democrats have 47 , Independent have 4, Republicans have 49

In 2020 Democrats had obtained the majority with 48 and 2 Independent caucusing together, against 50 Republicans. Since it was 50:50 the Vice President had to be the tie breaker for selecting the majority leader.

8 D voted nay along with 50 R, but if you don't see how it failing was the result of the R party then you'd be a damn fool.
