Same here. The headline is slightly misleading/worded in a deceptive way. The article is saying that if more than 2 dems vote "no", and all Rs vote "no", then the bill would get defeated in the house because a tie can't be broken in the house.
Essentially 2+ means >= 3, so 215-215 tie vote.
Do the math. If 3 votes flip, it's a 215-215 tie.
